On August 29th, 2024, USHCA hosted a special webinar, where delegates who traveled to China to attend the 2024 U.S.-China Ag Roundtable shared their reflections and insights from their recent travels.
As delegates of two American delegations organized by USHCA – the Ag & Food Business Delegation and the Ag Education Delegation – they had a front-row-seat opportunity to observe and explore the impact of U.S.-China collaboration around agriculture as they traveled through Shanghai, Hefei, Jinan, Binzhou, Weifang, Beijing, and Xi’an.
This was a unique opportunity to hear the firsthand experiences of participating business leaders, growers, university faculty, and students as they delve into the complexities and opportunities in U.S.-China agricultural collaboration and the realities of on the ground engagement.
