Last month, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that Vietnam had granted market access for California peaches and nectarines as part of ongoing trade negotiations. This week the first shipments from California arrived in Vietnam, along with promotional events, appreciation visits, and consumer engagements.

"I'm so very pleased and thankful that we have been able to expand our trade relationship and ongoing friendship with Vietnam," said CDFA Secretary Karen Ross. "I also appreciate the hard work and dedication of USDA, California Fresh Fruit Association and our tree fruit growers in expanding new market opportunities in foreign markets."

Secretary Ross plans to travel to Vietnam in September to meet with government officials, importers and distributors to celebrate the success of the California tree fruit industry and expand ongoing collaboration. Vietnam is California's 12^th largest export destination, valued at $336 million. Top exports include: pistachios, dairy, almonds and table grapes.

Every $1 of U.S. agricultural exports worldwide is estimated to generate a total of $2.09 in domestic economic activity.
