MFB has significant concerns over China’s actions to impose tariffs
ST. PAUL — Minnesota Farm Bureau has significant concerns over China’s actions to impose tariffs including a 25 percent tariff on several pork products in addition to other products. Minnesota farmers rely on market opportunities abroad.
“China is a critical market for Minnesota agriculture, especially for soybeans, dairy, pork and wheat. The recent actions by one of our largest trade partners could prove to be detrimental to Minnesota farmers and ranchers,” said Minnesota Farm Bureau President Kevin Paap. “The current trade disputes need to be resolved without harming agriculture.”
