Last week, Nebraska State Agriculture Department officials held a forum on trade in Washington D.C. State Ag Director Steve Wellman they were able to meet with representatives from China, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Canada and Argentina. He says they worked to strengthen trade relationships and rebuild the trust lost with those trading partners due to the trade war.
He says export markets for Nebraska ag products have been growing and they hope to continue that trend in the future.
Wellman says Nebraska, and all the countries represented at their forum, have a lot in common. He says they all want to have positive trade now and in the future.
Wellman says over a fourth of Nebraska’s ag receipts come from exports.
