Japan trade agreement would be boon for US Animal Feed Industry



Following President Donald Trump's recent action of sending to Congress his intent for the US to ratify a free trade agreement with Japan in the coming weeks, the American Feed Industry Association's (AFIA) President and CEO Joel G Newman made the following statement:
'AFIA is pleased the administration has reached an initial trade agreement on tariff barriers with Japan and intends to enter into the agreement in the coming weeks. We are hopeful this agreement will show progress in bringing the US animal food industry closer to the level of tariff treatment Japan affords our competitors in the recently implemented Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. We are eager to review the final text and for further developments in the subsequent bilateral negotiations with Japan.'
