2023 China and Taiwan Seafood Inbound Mission to Seafood Expo North America
March 10-14, Boston MA; March 15-17, Seattle WA
Taiwan imported US$1.55 billion of seafood products in 2020, including US$440 million of crustaceans, US$268 million of frozen fish, and US$245 million of mollusks. China is the main supplier of seafood to Taiwan, followed by Norway and Indonesia; Australia had a market share of 2%, exporting to Taiwan US$35.5 million.
China and Taiwan are two of the largest markets for U.S. seafood agricultural exports. China's demand for imported seafood products has continued to increase since 2019, especially post COVID.
During this inbound trade mission, buyers will spend three full days in Boston attending the Seafood Expo North America show to meet with WUSATA seafood producers and exporters. Then buyers will fly to Seattle, WA to visit seafood producers' facilities and processing plants. WUSATA participants will have tailored one-one-one business meetings with visiting buyers to showcase their products.
This is the first in- person seafood specific mission since COVID and the first time WUSATA has participated in this seafood expo! Experienced seafood exporters and new-to-market seafood companies- please take advantage of this opportunity!
