U.S. Wheat Associates welcomed the announcement of an agreed-upon framework between the U.S. government and the Republic of Indonesia for negotiating an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade(Link is external). The proposed trade deal is expected to directly benefit U.S. wheat farmers through the removal of Indonesian tariffs on 99 percent of U.S. products, a reduction in non-tariff barriers, and new purchase commitments for U.S. ag products, including wheat. “We are excited and grateful for this wide-reaching government commitment that includes the agreement signed earlier this month between Indonesian flour millers and the U.S. wheat industry,” said USW president Mike Spier. Ryan LeGrand, president of the U.S. Grains Council, says his group commends the administration on the historic trade deal with Indonesia. “It will enhance trade between both countries and places a zero tariff on the products that the Council represents,” LeGrand said. “In 2023-2024, Indonesia was the fourth-largest importer of DDGS with solubles.”
