U.S. Agribusiness Trade Mission Cements U.S. Presence in Southeast Asia Looking to increase U.S. exporter presence in Southeast Asian markets, a U.S. Department of Agriculture delegation, led by USDA Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs Alexis Taylor, expanded existing trade ties in Malaysia and Singapore earlier this month.  More than 300 business-to-business meetings took place during the weeklong agribusiness trade mission. At the same time, Taylor met with the Ministry of Agriculture of Food Security in Malaysia to discuss key topics, including biotechnology cooperation, live cattle imports into Malaysia, and the ongoing issue of HPAI, or avian flu.  Climate change was another critical topic at the forefront of the visit.

Both countries are working on tackling greenhouse gas emissions as their contribution to global climate change solutions.  Please click here to read more>>   Update your subscriptions, modify your password or email address, or stop subscriptions at any time on your Subscriber Preferences Page.
