Finding Security: U.S.-China Ag. Trade in a Changing World

Despite growing competition between the U.S. and China, trade volume between the two countries remains significant and robust. U.S. agricultural exports to China, in particular, have seen tremendous growth. But the world is changing dramatically and the impact is felt locally in the Heartland, where a majority of the U.S. agricultural exports to China are produced.

As a global food security crisis is looming large over the horizon, what is the future of U.S.-China Ag trade, and how can the two countries collaborate to address global food security? This August, USHCA will have experts from both the U.S. and China to explore these questions and share insights on the impact of inflation, domestic production shifts, and the changes taking place in U.S.-China Ag trade and its impact to Ag producers in the Heartland.
