Hong Kong - May 2025

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service is now accepting applications for its agribusiness trade mission to Hong Kong, scheduled for May 12-16, 2025. Current and potential U.S. exporters interested in participating must apply by Jan. 30, 2025.
“This mission offers U.S. exporters a vital platform to build connections and gain insights essential for success in Asia,” said Foreign Agricultural Service Administrator Daniel Whitley. “It is an opportunity to showcase the quality and reliability of U.S. agricultural products to a thriving market.”
In 2023, Hong Kong ranked as the 17th-largest global market for U.S. agricultural products, importing $1.5 billion worth of goods. As a free port and gateway to broader markets in south China, Macau, and southeast Asia, Hong Kong provides significant opportunities for U.S. exporters across sectors, including:
- Poultry, pork, beef, and related products
- Seafood
- Tree nuts
- Fresh fruit
- Condiments and sauces
- Soups and prepared foods
- Bakery goods, cereals, and pasta
- Candies and confectioneries
- Alcoholic beverages, including distilled spirits, wine, and beer
During the trade mission, participants will engage in tailored business-to-business meetings with buyers from Hong Kong, attend market briefings hosted by USDA staff and trade experts, and participate in site visits and networking events. The trade mission also coincides with the USDA-endorsed HOFEX trade show – Asia’s premier food and hospitality event, providing participants with enhanced exposure to key buyers.
Hong Kong is Asias’s culinary capital and the eight-largest export market for U.S. consumer-oriented agricultural and food products.
