“ADM applauds President Trump and his teams at USDA and USTR for their successful negotiation of the U.S.-Japan Trade Agreement, a critical interim step towards a comprehensive trade agreement between our two countries. American exports of food and agriculture products to Japan totaled $14.1 billion in 2018. The conclusion of this agreement and the resulting tariff reductions and eliminations will help open up new opportunities for America’s farmers, ranchers and food producers.
