The USDA is working to expand export opportunities for American agriculture through a new trade mission to Argentina and Ecuador. The mission is being led by USDA Undersecretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs Luke Lindberg. The effort builds on reciprocal trade and investment agreements signed with both countries earlier this year and is designed to strengthen market access for U.S. farmers, ranchers, and agricultural businesses. USDA says Argentina and Ecuador represent two of the fastest-growing markets in the Western Hemisphere. In 2025, the U.S. exported $166 million worth of agricultural products to Argentina, including seeds and livestock genetics. Exports to Ecuador totaled $595 million, led by soybean meal, wheat, and other feed products. “Trade missions like this one are turning new market access into true market share,” Lindberg said. “We’re converting historic reciprocal agreements into lasting commercial wins for our hardworking farmers, ranchers, and producers.”
