China & Hong Kong Virtual Trade Mission

China is the third largest export market for U.S. agricultural and related products. With limited arable land and increasing demand for meat, poultry, and dairy, the country must import animal feed ingredients and food grains to meet its livestock and food security needs. In 2019, the United States exported $16.3 billion of U.S. agricultural and related products to China. Consumers are upgrading their consumption habits, which is driving demand for imported tree nuts, wine, spirits, prepared foods, snack foods, live seafood, and many other products. China remains one of the most dynamic markets in the world and offers great opportunities for overseas suppliers and investors.

Hong Kong is an attractive market for innovative U.S. food and beverage products as well as a gateway to the region. Due to limited arable land, around 95 percent of food in Hong Kong is imported. In 2019, the United States was Hong Kong’s sixth largest supplier of consumer-oriented food and beverage products, with total sales reaching $2.9 billion USD. Consumers are sophisticated and enjoy cosmopolitan food and beverage tastes.Top categories for U.S. agricultural exports to Hong Kong include beef, tree nuts, poultry meat, fresh fruit, prepared food, pork, seafood products, wine and beer, meat products, and pet food.
