With the U.S. and China agreeing to a temporary pause on new tariffs, ag groups are monitoring the situation closely.

China remains a key market for U.S. products, like soybeans and pork, but China has recently shifted to buying from Brazil. Analysts note that while the 90-day pause may provide short-term stability, long-term market access remains uncertain.

Stakeholders are also watching for any purchase commitments as trade discussions continue.
