Seminar explores Vietnam business opportunities

Posted online
The Missouri Department of Agriculture is hosting a seminar in Springfield on Thursday to explore the possibilities for local companies to do business with Vietnam.

The event will be 9 a.m.–1:30 p.m. at the Plaster Student Union on the Missouri State University campus.

Representatives from the Vietnamese Embassy in Washington D.C., the Food Export Association’s Chicago office and EXIM Bank’s Chicago office will be presenters. Sharing their business experiences in the Vietnam market will be representatives from Clayton AgriMarketing and North Pacific Lumber and retired international executive Pedro Pantoja.

Missouri’s exports to Vietnam increased 75 percent between 2006 and 2007, according to the department, with chemicals, processed foods and leather-related products leading the way.

A second seminar on the topic will be held 8–10 a.m. Friday at the University of Missouri–Columbia. Representatives from the Vietnamese Embassy and Missouri’s trade office in Taipei will present.
