2023 China Consumer Oriented Inbound Missions to Alaska and Oregon
Anchorage, Alaska & Portland and Salem, Oregon
July 31 - August 5, 2023
For the third consecutive year, China has been the largest market for U.S. agriculture exports. In 2022, the total value of all U.S. agricultural and related products exported to China reached a record $40.9 billion, an increase of 14.5% from the previous year. In 2021, China imported $7.9 billion of consumer- oriented agricultural products from the U.S. making it the 4th largest export country for this category. China is the world's second largest economy with a population of 1.4 billion in mainland China and another 7.8 million in Hong Kong. Despite various global trade disruptions, China continues to be a thriving export market that offers growth potential for current and new U.S. food and agricultural suppliers. Consumers across China and Hong Kong are becoming more health conscious and recognize U.S. products as reliable and safe. In response, grocery stores, supermarkets, e-commerce platforms, and other retailers are importing products focused on health and wellness.
For this activity, buyers from China and Hong Kong will spend two full days in each state: Alaska and Oregon. WUSATA participants will have one-on-one business meetings with visiting buyers to showcase their products. Additional opportunities will be available for participants to host tours at their farms or processing facilities.
Experienced exporters and new-to-market companies- please take advantage of this opportunity!
