China's Agricultural Trade: Competitive Conditions and Effects on U.S. Exports
Investigation No. 332-518
USITC Publication 4219
Summary
Demand for imported food is growing rapidly in China due to rising incomes, greater urbanization, and the increasing importance of food quality and safety to consumers, reports the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) in its new publication.
U.S. farmers and food manufacturers have benefited significantly from rising Chinese imports of several important products, according to the report. However, they continue to face export restrictions created by tariffs, tariff-rate quotas (TRQs), and non-tariff measures (NTMs); some of these measures substantially limit or prohibit certain U.S. agricultural products from entering the Chinese market.
