She may be small but mighty! Our Hana Huynh in Vietnam is on the move promoting highbush blueberries to the Southeast Asian food industry. Having a local person in the region is a great asset for the USHBC--especially one with a food science and food industry background.She is off and running and literally running on her speedy motorbike which is an essential travel mode in the traffic of Vietnam.
>Vietnam has a well developed and rising local food manufacturing industry including foreign ventures from Europe and especially Korea. The hard working and well educated workforce makes it a great business site!
>Vietnamese love imported goods, especially Korean and US. Many Vietnamese have relatives living in the states and studies have indicated that USA is a very positive label for a food product.
>The Vietnamese associate berries such as their native mulberry and now blueberries with beauty and skin care. Stores are full of Korean made natural cosmetics -- many with blueberries.
