Jim Sutter, CEO of the U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC), has emphasized the robust and enduring agricultural partnership between China and the United States, with the China International Import Expo (CIIE) playing a pivotal role in cementing this long-term relationship.
Sutter highlighted the significance of the CIIE as a platform for showcasing U.S. soy and the collaborative efforts of American farmers and exporters. He noted that the USSEC has been collaborating with China since 1982, and the CIIE serves as a crucial occasion to engage with Chinese companies that are prominent buyers of U.S. soy.
Sutter expressed the strength of the relationship between China and the United States, particularly in the field of agriculture. He underlined the importance of this event to demonstrate support for Chinese customers of U.S. agricultural products and to build upon existing ties.
China’s consistent appetite for U.S. agricultural products was acknowledged by Sutter, indicating that many USSEC member companies have enjoyed fruitful partnerships in the Chinese market over an extended period.
He emphasized the smooth trade relations between U.S. and Chinese companies, underlining the mutual desire for continued business collaboration.
The CEO stressed the importance of long-term thinking and building enduring relationships with China. He emphasized the potential for collaboration in the domain of climate-smart agriculture and sustainability, as China’s increasing focus in these areas presents a “win-win” opportunity for both countries.
As China seeks to adopt climate-smart agriculture practices and sustainable products, Sutter sees an opportunity for U.S. farmers and exporters to provide stable raw materials. U.S. soy’s strong sustainability track record and low carbon footprint position it as an appealing choice for Chinese firms seeking sustainable solutions.
Sutter also highlighted the potential for China-U.S. agricultural cooperation to expand further in the future, especially in the production of sustainable goods. The foundation for such cooperation is rooted in the long-term commitment of both nations, offering a promising outlook for the agricultural partnership between China and the United States.
