Hong Kong Outbound Trade Mission

Hong Kong has traditionally been a dynamic market, which served as a trading hub for the neighboring mainland China and Asia Pacific market, where goods from around the world are transshipped to China and other parts of Asia.Hong Kong’s economy has took a tumble in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other issues, however recovery of the economy was seen in 2021, with GDP growing by 5.4% in the third quarter of 2021, and up 4.8% year-on-year in the fourth quarter, with a robust export performance and improved private consumption being the main catalysts.

Hong Kong is one of the top markets in the world for food and beverages, processed, fresh, and frozen gourmet products. U.S. exports of consumer-oriented agricultural products to Hong Kong were $1.9 billion, making it the sixth-largest market for the United States in 2020. Top U.S. agricultural exports to Hong Kong included: beef, tree nuts, fresh fruit, prepared food, seafood, poultry meat, pork, pet food, wine, and processed vegetables.
