Trump Extends China's Tariff Deadline and NCBA Victory in Cattle Emissions
From the Ag Information Network, this is your Agribusiness Update.
**President Trump signed an executive order extending a deadline for higher tariffs on Chinese imports from last Tuesday until November 10.
Officials from the U.S. and China first ended tariff tit-for-tat in May after duty rates on both sides reached triple digits.
The order reads, through these discussions, China continues to take significant steps toward remedying non-reciprocal trade arrangements and addressing the concerns of the United States.
**After years of litigation, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association notched a legal victory affirming protections for cattle farmers and ranchers when it comes to air emissions reporting requirements.
NCBA and other farm groups say having to file the complex, overreaching reports is wrong.
Public Lands Council executive director, Kaitlynn Glover says the decision affirms that family cattle producers shouldn’t have to file reports for a natural, biological process under a law meant for chemical contaminants.
**Mexico has set minimum export prices for its fresh tomatoes to protect domestic production and ensure internal supply after a bilateral agreement with the U.S. expired.
Mexico’s Ag ministries made the announcement after Washington withdrew from a 2019 deal between the two countries, which regulated Mexican tomato exports to the U.S.
The new pricing rules apply exclusively to definitive exports, but don’t restrict export volumes or impose maximum prices.
