54. Opening New Markets for Corn in India, Vietnam and Beyond
Description
Growers are hoping the recent rollout of a new U.S. trade
deal with the United Kingdom is a sign of things to come.
The agreement is the first trade pact with a new trading
partner since 2012.
And amid tariff uncertainty and unsettled markets, the presidential
administration is signaling its desire to make trade deals with new countries a
top priority.
In particular, discussions are ongoing to open up new markets
for corn in India and Vietnam, representing a potentially huge boost for the
American corn industry.
So in this episode of the Cobcast, we’re talking to two top
experts on international trade: Andrew Brandt, the Director of Trade Policy at the
U.S. Grains Council; and Nancy Martinez, the Director of Public Policy, Trade
and Biotechnology at the National Corn Growers Association.
Together, we’ll answer many of the distinct trade questions
on growers’ minds at this moment, like
what are some other possible destinations for corn exports? What could
potential deals look like with these new countries? And what does it all mean
for folks who are just getting a crop in the ground?
