China agreed to ramp up trade for U.S. agricultural products, including beef and poultry, with purchases at an annualized rate of $17 billion per year for 2026, 2027, and 2028. China would restore market access for U.S. beef and resume poultry imports from U.S. states designated by the USDA as free of bird flu. The agreements build on China’s soybean purchase commitments made last year. The changes aim to ease pressure on American farmers affected by the trade war. The U.S. will work on China’s concerns about detention of dairy products, seafood, potted bonsai exports, and recognition of Shandong as bird-flu-free, while China will work on U.S. concerns about beef processing facility registration and poultry exports from certain states. Both sides also agreed to expand trade through reciprocal tariff reductions on a range of products.
"China has agreed to ramp up trade for U.S. agricultural products such as beef and poultry, buying at an annualized rate of $17 billion per year for 2026 and at that level for 2027 and 2028, the White House announced Sunday, two days after President Donald Trump returned from a high-stakes summit in Beijing where he sought to ease the impact on American farmers from the trade war he launched last year."
"China would restore market access for U.S. beef and resume imports of poultry from U.S. states determined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be free of the bird flu, the White House said. The deals are on top of China's soybean purchase commitments last year."
"The U.S. would "actively work" to address China's concerns regarding detention of its dairy products, seafood, the export of potted bonsai, and the recognition of Shandong province as a bird-flu-free zone, while the Chinese side will "likewise actively work" to address U.S. concerns regarding the registration of beef processing facilities and the export of poultry meat from certain states to China, a ministry spokesperson said."
"China's Ministry of Commerce on Saturday said the two sides would "resolve or make substantial progress toward resolving certain non-tariff barriers and market access issues" regarding agricultural goods."
