Missouri Agriculture Director Chris Chinn says Japan is a country holding a lot of promise for American agriculture. She’s responding to news about the U.S. and Japan coming to a preliminary trade agreement. According to the department, Japan is the third highest export market, accounting for $209 million.
Gov. Mike Parson says the deal would also improve digital trade.
In a statement from Missouri U.S. Senator Roy Blunt, he says the deal would reduce or toss out tariffs on $7 billion in U.S. ag products. Blunt says he hopes the step will pave the way for a comprehensive trade agreement with Japan.
