Agriculture isn’t nearing trade war tariffs crisis, ‘it is full blown crisis already’ farmers say

[berg80]

The clock is ticking on trade deals that the U.S. will need to strike with many nations, most notably China, to avoid what Trump’s Treasury Secretary has described as an “unsustainable” tariffs war. But in the U.S. farming sector, the damage has already been done and the economic crisis already begun.

U.S. agriculture exporters say the global backlash to President Trump’s tariffs is punishing them, especially a decline in Chinese buying of U.S. farm products, leading to cancelled export orders and layoffs. Peter Friedmann, executive director of the Agriculture Transportation Coalition, a leading export trade group for farmers, tells CNBC the number of canceled purchases of U.S. agriculture should not be described as approaching a crisis. “It is a full-blown crisis already,” he said.

Data released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Thursday revealed China made its biggest cancellation of pork orders since 2020, halting a shipment of 12,000 tons of pork.

China has an insatiable appetite for pork. They'll come around.

That said, isn't feeding the enemy an act of treason?

For years all we heard about was how China's tariffs closed American agriculture out. Particularly American rice growers were shut out. Then the Chinese bought up American farmland and exported the entirety of the produce to China.

Those are the same people who now say tariffs on cheap Chinese crap is hurting American agriculture. And, they say it as if we really forgot what was going on all along.

We export about three times as much to Mexico as we do China, that might be the market to worry about.
