The event aimed to gather feedback from associations and businesses on enhancing two-way trade, including increasing imports from the US, as part of Viet Nam’s efforts to foster a fair and sustainable trade balance.

Speaking at the conference, Minister of Agriculture and Environment Do Duc Duy said that the ministry has introduced various measures and issued an export promotion programme targeting the US market.

The plan highlights key priorities, which include: enhancing supply chain and raw material area transparency; adopting digital technologies for traceability and quality control; building sectoral brands based on compliance and sustainable development; and promoting green transition programmes in agriculture to meet increasingly stringent environmental standards in key markets such as the US, EU and Japan.

During the event, delegates discussed the current state of agricultural, forestry and fishery imports from the US, identified challenges faced by Vietnamese importers, and proposed practical solutions to facilitate trade between the two nations.

Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien affirmed that US imports play a vital role in both short and long-term trade strategies. He urged both sides to remove trade barriers and create favourable conditions such as tax incentives and logistics support so as to strengthen business cooperation.

He also encouraged Vietnamese enterprises to seek partnerships with US firms and promote sustainable, high-value agriculture.

He stressed that the government remains committed to supporting exporters by simplifying administrative procedures and opening the domestic market to US agricultural products.
