The members of the delegation include high-ranking officials from the Nebraska Department of Agriculture and Department of Economic Development, along with agricultural experts, business representatives, academics, and other stakeholders.

At MM Mega Market, governor Pillen toured the shelves of fresh food, imported frozen food, and agricultural products to learn how these products are presented.

Speaking with VIR, Pillen said that the objective of the delegation’s trip this time is to help Nebraska's businesses to make connections in the Vietnamese market.

He added that future activities to enhance the distribution network of Nebraska's products in Vietnam will continue to grow. Last year, the total export value of all products to Vietnam stood at nearly $1 billion.

“This trade mission is intended to help enhance the distribution of products from Nebraska in Vietnam by getting to know our customers, meeting with them face-to-face, telling them our story, and seeing how we can work together,” stated Pillen.

“We hope to highlight beef from Nebraska, corn gluten, soybean meal, and other quality agricultural products. Additionally, we will be promoting efforts to bring high-quality grain storage infrastructure from expert companies located in Nebraska to Vietnam's fertile agricultural areas. We have representatives from our University of Nebraska system that are looking to make connections at the Vietnam National University of Agriculture,” he concluded.

Nebraska is the 16^th largest state in the United States, with strengths in the production of agricultural products, especially beef.
