Despite its recent economic woes and slowing dairy import demand, China represents an expansive market with new opportunities for long-term growth for U.S. dairy exports.

This week on The Dairy Download, we talk with two experts who have served with the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) and USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) to talk about where the U.S.-China trade relationship stands today, and where we might be headed in the future.

What are some of the unique challenges present in the U.S. trade relationship with China? How might the U.S.-China trade relationship change in the future? How would the dairy industry benefit from more robust trade agreements in Asia? Wendy Cutler, a former USTR negotiator, and Eric Trachtenberg, a former FAS official, provide the inside scoop on expanding dairy’s market access in China.
