Luke Lindberg, USDA Undersecretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs, arrived in Taiwan to lead an agribusiness trade mission to expand market access and boost U.S. agricultural exports. The delegation includes 39 agribusinesses and trade organizations and representatives from three state agriculture departments.
“On a per capita basis, Taiwan already punches above its weight in purchasing high-quality American agriculture, but we will showcase more of our amazing brands and food products,” said Lindberg.
The trade mission comes on the heels of an announcement by Taiwan officials who intend to increase purchases of several categories of U.S. agricultural products by over 30 percent during the next four years. The U.S. has a $3.1 billion trade surplus with Taiwan after shipping a total of $3.8 billion in 2024. Trade opportunities include soybeans, corn, wheat, dairy, beef, fresh fruits, tree nuts, and more. USDA’s next trade mission heads to Mexico in November.
