Taiwan to buy $10 billion in U.S. agriculture

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins is announcing a major trade win for U.S. farmers.

She posted on X this morning saying that Taiwan has committed to $10 billion in purchases over the next four years, including soybeans, corn, wheat, and beef.

The announcement comes on the heels of a Taiwan Goodwill Mission, signing a $1.3 billion letter of intent to buy 132 million bushels of U.S. wheat between 2026-2029.
