The new Japan trade deal represents a big win for American agriculture. The agreement includes the purchase of $8 billion of U.S. goods, along with an expansion of rice imports.

Frequent Market Day Report guest Jeremy Zwinger of Farm and Trade joined RFD-TV’s Suzanne Alexander to discuss how the markets are following the announcement, if it is a big boost for rice producers in the United States, and how big a market Japan is for U.S. rice.
