The Trump administration announced a series of trade deals and frameworks with several Asian countries, some of which include new market access for U.S. ethanol. The deals also include additional opportunities for corn and corn products, like distillers dried grains with solubles. National Corn Growers Association President Jed Bower said this is good news for corn growers. “Eliminating tariffs on ethanol exports to Malaysia and Cambodia will boost demand,” he said. “The announced frameworks with Thailand and Vietnam also hold promise.” Meantime, the American Soybean Association applauded reports of progress in U.S. negotiations with China. “ASA is encouraged by Treasury Secretary Bessent’s comments on productive trade talks with China,” said President Caleb Ragland. “Signs of purchase commitments are positive steps, and we look forward to learning more details about the possibilities later this week.” ASA hopes negotiators keep American soybeans at the center of the trade discussions.
