American Barbecue recently took center stage at a celebration in Vietnam in honor of the first anniversary of the U.S.-Vietnam Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
The Great American Barbecue Festival featured cooking demonstrations including U.S. products like Nebraskan beef, Alaskan seafood, Washington apples, and Texas barbecue sauces.
USDA’s Undersecretary of Trade closed the evening by saying Vietnam is a leading market, creating many new opportunities for U.S. ag and food products.
Last year, bilateral trade between the two countries reached over $8 billion in the ag and food sectors alone.
