Phase 1 agreementCh. 3 Trade in Food and Agricultural Products
• Addresses NTBs affecting a wide range of productions– dairy and infant formula– poultry, beef, and pork products– pet food
• Compliance with WTO ruling on domestic support and TRQ administration (wheat, corn, rice)
• Speed and streamline biotech approval process
Phase 1 agreementCh. 6 Expanding Trade => ag imports
• $12.5 billion above 2017 baseline in 2020
• $19.5 billion above 2017 baseline in 2021
• purchases will be made at market prices based on commercial considerations and that “market conditions…may dictate the timing of purchases”
Phase 1: questions• What is meant by agricultural products?
– Seafood, distilled spirits, ethanol, processed food and wine
• Commitments are value not volume based.
• What is the baseline? – Calendar 2017 ag products ~$21 billion, with seafood, ethanol & distilled spirits– Agreement considers baseline at $24 billion
• How valued?– US exports valued fob US– China imports valued cif China– Agreement will use data from both China and US to monitor

Still early but sales are lagging…• For Q1, China reports ag product imports of $5 billion
(import value). Need about 2x that value in each quarter Q2, Q3, and Q4 to reach target of $36.5 billion
• Encouraging sales of pork, cotton, wheat, corn and sorghum, but pace is very slow
• Soybean export pace lagging and won’t likely pick up until late summer

Impacts of Covid-19• Direct impact on health
– Farm labor (F&V production, dairies)– Meat processing
• Impact of containment policies– Closure of non-essential businesses– Shelter in place policies– Impact on motor vehicle fuel use– Disruption of supply chains; increased costs– Rising retail prices as producer prices fall
• Recessionary impacts on income
