TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A Taiwan agricultural trade mission has arrived in the US to promote bilateral agricultural cooperation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
Led by Minister of Agriculture Chen Jun-ji (陳駿季), the delegation will first visit Washington, DC, before splitting into three groups focused on soybeans and corn, wheat, and beef, according to MOFA.
The soybeans and corn group will visit Arkansas, Ohio, and Indiana; the wheat group will travel to South Dakota, Montana, and Idaho; and the beef group will head to Florida and Texas. During the 13-day trip, the groups will meet state officials and farming organizations and sign letters of intent.
Taiwan was the eighth-largest overseas market for US agricultural exports last year, primarily importing soybeans, corn, wheat, and beef, MOFA said. The mission aims to deepen agricultural exchanges and strengthen the Taiwan–US partnership in economy, trade, and food security.
