The U.S. Trade Representative’s Office announced that agreements on reciprocal trade were reached over the weekend with Cambodia and Malaysia. Framework agreements for similar trade deals were secured with Thailand and Vietnam with the goal of eliminating trade barriers to further increase U.S. producers’ competitiveness. The U.S. Grains and Bioproducts Council issued a statement reacting positively to the announcement. “The Council believes that when trade works, the world wins, and the steps that the U.S. Trade Representative’s, Office led by Jamieson Greer, has taken to facilitate the movement of U.S. agricultural goods are a welcome sight for the entire industry,” said Ryan LeGrand, USGBC president and CEO. “The Council looks forward to the USTR’s continued efforts that will help reduce costs for consumers and drive demand around the world for U.S. farmers and businesses.” The announcement mirrored the Council’s mission of developing export markets for U.S. barley, corn, sorghum, and ethanol.
