Our in-country trade consultants accompanied our client, a representative from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, on an itinerary of meetings to wholesale centers, retail stores and supermarkets in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, while on a Study Mission organized by the US Apple Export Council (USAEC). Our client also met with the Foreign Agricultural Service in Malaysia and Thailand, and had meetings with importers and distributors in the three markets. The study mission was aimed at helping US agricultural agencies and companies to understand the opportunities in the South East Asian market, and to meet with potential buyers.
