US Farmers Losing Market Share in China

[Toro]

Agricultural products is one of America's largest exports, and China is one of America's largest export markets. Trump's Trade War and trade taxes are beginning to hurt in states that supported him in the last election.

The U.S.-China trade spat is cutting into the flow of soybeans, pork and other commodities from U.S. farms to one of the world’s biggest markets.

Since early April, when China announced tariffs on some U.S. agricultural goods and threatened to target others, Chinese importers have canceled purchases of corn and cut orders for pork while dramatically reducing new soybean purchases, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data. Chinese importers’ new orders of sorghum, a grain used in animal feed, have dwindled while cancellations increased.

The chill in agricultural trade is sending jitters through the U.S. Farm Belt, which for years has dispatched farmers on trade missions to cultivate the Chinese market.

“As the summer persists and if nothing’s been resolved, it will start showing up as a pretty big hole in U.S. exports, ” said Soren Schroder, chief executive of Bunge Ltd., one of the world’s largest processors and traders of soybeans. ...

“If [the Chinese] market closes, it could be devastating for local communities across the Midwest,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) said in a statement.​

/-----/ So you're picking the winners and losers.

No, Trump is picking the winners and losers. That's what trade taxes, i.e. tariffs, do.

What about the $35,000 Chink tariff on Buicks?

Probably the same as the 25% tariff we slap on foreign trucks so the car companies can make big profits at your expense.

And the small to intermediate farmers are the ones this will hurt the most. They are the ones that are never more than one bad season from bankruptcy.

Commodities like grain corn, soybeans, sorghum, and others are grown in amounts that far exceed the demand locally. If the grain that was slated for export was dumped on the US market the prices would crash and it would likely hurt them even more than the stupid trade war is.

Why are you always behind the curve? Exports are now at an all time high and the deficit is shrinking.

The United States' trade deficit narrowed in May as exports — including industrial supplies and consumer goods — climbed to all-time highs.

The latest snapshot of trade activity, reported by the Commerce Department on Friday, showed that the nation's trade gap decreased to $59.8 billion. That was down 1.2% from April's trade deficit and was the best showing since March.

Exports of U.S.-made goods and services totaled an all-time high of $157.6 billion in May. That marked a 0.9% increase from April. The declining value of the U.S. dollar, relative to other currencies, especially the euro, is helping to make U.S. exports cheaper and thus more attractive to foreign buyers. Growth in exports has been one of the few bright spots for the U.S. economy, which has been pounded by housing, credit and financial crises.

The Bush administration says free-trade policies that make it easier for U.S. companies to do business in other countries are the best way to deal with the country's trade deficits.

Democrats, however, blame the president's trade policies for the trade gap and loss of millions of U.S. factory jobs over the years as U.S. companies moved production to low-wage places such as China.

On the campaign trail, GOP presidential contender John McCain supports free trade, although he has acknowledged that it is not a positive for all people. He has promised to retrain workers who lose jobs to overseas plants.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Record exports trimmed the U.S. trade deficit in March, the first drop in seven months in a massive gap that President Donald Trump is determined to shrink with an aggressive America first policy.

The Commerce Department says the trade deficit — the difference between what America sells and what it buys in foreign markets — slid to $49 billion, down from $57.7 billion in February and lowest since September.

Agricultural products is one of America's largest exports, and China is one of America's largest export markets. Trump's Trade War and trade taxes are beginning to hurt in states that supported him in the last election.

The U.S.-China trade spat is cutting into the flow of soybeans, pork and other commodities from U.S. farms to one of the world’s biggest markets.

Since early April, when China announced tariffs on some U.S. agricultural goods and threatened to target others, Chinese importers have canceled purchases of corn and cut orders for pork while dramatically reducing new soybean purchases, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data. Chinese importers’ new orders of sorghum, a grain used in animal feed, have dwindled while cancellations increased.

The chill in agricultural trade is sending jitters through the U.S. Farm Belt, which for years has dispatched farmers on trade missions to cultivate the Chinese market.

“As the summer persists and if nothing’s been resolved, it will start showing up as a pretty big hole in U.S. exports, ” said Soren Schroder, chief executive of Bunge Ltd., one of the world’s largest processors and traders of soybeans. ...

“If [the Chinese] market closes, it could be devastating for local communities across the Midwest,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) said in a statement.​

U.S. Farmers Are Already Suffering From Lost Chinese Orders for Corn, Soybeans and Pork

I figure Trumpis is more concerned with smaller and intermediate producers/farmers than big ag./corporate agriculture and processors/traders.

Big Agriculture and Democrats.. strange bedfellows .. .. not really

And the small to intermediate farmers are the ones this will hurt the most. They are the ones that are never more than one bad season from bankruptcy.

Why would they be hurt in your opinion, I would figure they cater to products sold local or regionally for American consumers mostly...

Commodities like grain corn, soybeans, sorghum, and others are grown in amounts that far exceed the demand locally. If the grain that was slated for export was dumped on the US market the prices would crash and it would likely hurt them even more than the stupid trade war is.

Still sounds like y'all just want to whine and be full time Trump pessimists/alarmists but if I was farmer I'd switch to less big ag. controlled commodities.
