China has strategically targeted key U.S. agricultural exports in the ongoing trade war, impacting American farmers. The most affected products include soybeans, the largest U.S. agricultural export to China, along with corn, wheat, and sorghum.
Dairy products, pork, and beef have also faced tariffs, reducing demand from Chinese buyers. Additionally, fruits, nuts (like almonds and pistachios), and seafood have been subject to retaliatory measures.
These tariffs have forced U.S. farmers to seek alternative markets while pushing China to source from other countries such as Brazil and Argentina.
The dispute underscores the agricultural sector's vulnerability in global trade conflicts.
