Description

Market access, transportation logistics, and pricing are all impacted by agricultural trade and policy developments, and the March 19 webinar from the National Agricultural Law Center and Agri-Pulse will highlight the latest in international policy and what lies ahead.

“The U.S. farm economy relies heavily on access to foreign markets, with 96 percent of the world's consumers living outside the United States,” said NALC Director Harrison Pittman. “With tariffs, retaliatory tariffs, reciprocal tariffs, suspended import licenses, alongside increased input costs and current commodity prices, the ag industry has a lot at stake in the short and long-term. We’re excited to partner with Agri-Pulse to help provide in-depth and real-time insight on the current situation.”

The webinar will be moderated by Oliver Ward, international trade editor at Agri-Pulse, and features Kenneth Isley, partner at Barnes & Thornburg LLP, and Peter Friedmann, executive director of the Agriculture Transportation Coalition.

The webinar will begin at 10:30 a.m. Central/11:30 a.m. Eastern.

U.S. agriculture is deeply connected to international trade, and it’s critical that producers and agribusinesses stay informed on the shifting landscape of trade policies and agreements,” said Isley. “I look forward to discussing how the agricultural industry fits into the expected overall U.S. trade policies and action plans from the current administration.”

“Supply chain issues, regulatory changes, and international competition all play a role in moving U.S. agricultural products to global markets,” said Friedmann. “It’s essential to have strategies in place to adapt to these challenges.”
