U.S. pork exports to Vietnam are up nearly 400 percent in the last year.
Minnesota Pork CEO David Preisler says there are two major reasons for the jump.
“That’s really a direct result of Vietnam having African swine fever, and also some flooding issues that they had up in the country.”
He tells Brownfield pork is a staple of the Vietnamese diet and the U.S., Brazil, and Russia are competing for market share.
