During an export forum in Sioux Falls, the former chief U.S. agricultural trade negotiator, Gregg Doud, touted the success seen in trade with China. “China imports in agriculture almost as much as we export totally to the whole world so that’s a growing market and a great opportunity.” Corn, soybean and beef exports were singled out in the discussion. Doud, who is now the chief economist for Aimpoint Research, cited massive economic problems in China for their role in the supply chain disruptions. “If you’re shutting down the factory to make phosphate fertilizer and they’re one-third of the world supply of exportable phosphate fertilizer, that’s a huge problem for everybody in the world.”
