These markets represent great opportunities for California exports and serve as a gateway to the greater Southeast Asian market. California\u2019s agricultural exports to the region are valued at approximately $2.5 billion \u2013 with dairy, fresh fruit and tree nuts among the top exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visit was an opportunity to celebrate longstanding trade relationships and build new business connections within the export community. &nbsp;Our schedule included roundtable discussions with importers and retailers, meetings with foreign representatives of U.S agricultural trade associations, and engagement with the US ASEAN Business Council in Singapore. &nbsp;I also had the opportunity to visit a leading dairy plant and a bakery facility in Malaysia that both use U.S. agricultural ingredients. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One aspect of the mission that truly resonated with me was a presentation by the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers underscoring the importance of Halal certification. It is a unique value proposition that is a critical aspect of the food and beverage sector in Malaysia and the larger Southeast Asian market. As a speaker from Nestle noted \u2013 Halal is not just about meat \u2013 it is a market waiting for a diversity of products as well as an acknowledgement of the culture. Halal certification can be applied to many products, from fresh fruits and wine to health supplements. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This mission served to underscore the market development opportunities that California\u2019s agricultural exporters and trade associations can leverage in the region with the USDA\u2019s new $1.3B investment in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fas.usda.gov\/programs\/regional-agricultural-promotion-program\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.fas.usda.gov\/programs\/regional-agricultural-promotion-program\">Regional Agricultural Promotion Program<\/a>. California\u2019s farmers and ranchers, with their diversity of high-quality products, are well-positioned to meet growing international consumer needs while supporting local communities through job growth and expanded economic activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This visit was a great opportunity to support California agricultural trade and the farmers and ranchers who make our state the leading agricultural exporter in the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Special thanks to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service for the amazing work they do in supporting U.S. agricultural businesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By CDFA Secretary Karen Ross This week it was a pleasure to join USDA Undersecretary Alexis Taylor and more than 25 companies on an agricultural trade mission to Malaysia and Singapore.
