After midterms upheaval, US ag exporters call for stability in China trade

As the midterm “blue wave” threatens to further complicate US-China relations, American agricultural exporters are calling on Washington to focus on delivering the trade deals already agreed with Beijing and ending a period of damaging policy uncertainty.

“Agriculture is ... an industry with long production cycles, so many things need to be planned well in advance,” said Frank Zhou, managing director of Cargill China, the Chinese arm of US agribusiness group Cargill.
