(NAFB.com) – The American Farm Bureau Federation and the American Soybean Association both welcomed news of China’s renewed commitment to import U.S. agricultural products. AFBF President Zippy Duvall said the organization was encouraged by China’s plans to buy more soybeans and sorghum, noting that trade disputes have already burdened farmers facing high costs and low prices. ASA President Daryl Cates called the announcement a positive step for soybean growers who have endured years of global uncertainty. He emphasized that China remains one of the most vital export markets for U.S. soybeans, but long-term progress depends on predictable and transparent trade policies. Both organizations stressed that while the agreement signals improvement, consistent purchases and reliable market access are essential for restoring confidence and stability in U.S.–China agricultural trade.
