Japan has ratified a free trade agreement with ten other Pacific Rim countries. Once known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, this deal puts U.S. wheat at a competitive disadvantage against Canadian and Australian wheat. Japan’s tariffs on Canadian and Australian wheat will drop from $150 per metric ton to $85. The U.S. tariff will remain at $150 per ton. This trade agreement is expected to be finalized by early next year.
