The US Grains and BioProducts Council emphasizes a clear message: no matter how trade relations between the United States and China develop, they are committed to remaining in the Chinese market. This statement was made by the chairman of the trade association during the ongoing China International Import Expo in Shanghai.
This is his first time attending the expo. His main goal is to connect with Chinese buyers. “We’ve been here for 43 years and plan to stay. Our efforts will continue to foster more trade partnerships and friendships. As long as China needs our products, we are ready to supply them at any time.”
Wilson mentioned that a shipment of US sorghum is already en route to China. “US farmers have stockpiled at least two years’ worth of sorghum, and we urgently need to sell it. Securing orders from Chinese buyers is a positive development,” he said.
Additionally, the rising demand for high-protein livestock feed in China creates a new market for distillers dried grains with solubles, a key byproduct from US ethanol production, Wilson added.
Agricultural cooperation is a vital component of economic and trade relations between China and the United States, said Chen Chao, director-general of the department of Americas and Oceania affairs at China’s Ministry of Commerce, during the China-US Agricultural Trade Cooperation Forum yesterday. Such collaboration delivers tangible benefits to both nations and holds significant potential for future growth.
China remains the largest importer of US sorghum. In 2024, China imported 8.6 million metric tons of sorghum, with 5.6 million metric tons coming from the US, representing 65.6% of the total imports, based on Chinese customs data.
