Virginia Agriculture: Export Destination and Effect China

virginia agriculture: There's no question that Trump's peculiar negotiating behavior and questionable logic are having their effect, according to MSNBC. China had been Virginia agriculture's number one export destination with soybeans leading the list, along with apples, livestock and other products. If anything, it's likely to get worse as Trump vows even bigger tariffs, drops the idea and then comes back to it. In 2017, China bought 671 million worth of farm goods from state farmers. Exports to China dropped precipitously to 235 million. Then, Trump became president and quickly imposed a series of tariffs against China about a year and a half ago. (news.financializer.com).
