Time for new trade strategy (Farm Futures)

Farm Futures reported on agriculture and trade. For agriculture to thrive and be co-investors with our government in strengthening the environmental resilience, the worker protections, etcetera for U.S. agriculture we also need to be expanding markets as well. Senior research fellow, Joseph Glauber, says he would hope the Biden administration starts looking outward and looking for potential re-engagement in the region. We were very instrumental in creating the architecture for TPP, which now has become the CPTPP. “I think it may take a little while for the administration to start doing that, but hopefully within the next year or so we’ll start seeing some move in that way,” Glauber says. “Otherwise, I think you risk really falling behind.”
