Vilsack to go to Vietnam and China

Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack says he’s going to Vietnam and China next month to work on strengthening bilateral trade relations and “support the American brand” in the Asia Pacific region. Vilsack said at a policy summit in DC that trading partners in the region recognize the great productivity and highest quality food and ag products from US farmers, ranchers and producers. He says the Obama administration has made expanding market opportunities for American goods a top priority. He pointed to the signing of the three Free Trade Agreements by President Obama last week. Vilsack says “partnerships with growing markets like those in China and Vietnam are integral to the strength of the U.S. economy in the decades ahead.”

Vilsack will make the trip in mid-November and will be the first sitting American Ag Secretary to visit Vietnam.
