Chefs from across Vietnam recently competed in Porkstars, a cooking competition designed to promote creative uses of U.S. pork. Now in its third year, the livestreamed event is a collaboration between the U.S. Meat Export Federation, the National Pork Board, the Indiana Soybean Alliance and the Indiana Corn Marketing Board. Chris Eck, a director for the Indiana Soybean Alliance, said the competition has grown significantly over three years.
National Pork Board President Al Wulfekuhle of Iowa said there is growing market potential in Vietnam.
Proceeds from Porkstars went to Feed the Kids, a local charity that provides nutritious food to vulnerable children in Vietnam. For more information, visit usmef.org.
