The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) today announced additional progress to implement the agriculture-related provisions of the U.S.-China Phase One Economic and Trade Agreement. Both countries have now signed protocols to allow the United States to export into China barley for processing.
On May 13, the United States and China’s national plant protection organization (GACC) published their import requirements for barley for processing and the list of American shippers that can export that barley. With the operational work plan signed on May 8, this new market is now open, and U.S. producers can begin exporting their product. Industry estimates the annual value of this new market to be $660 million, upon maturity.
