MANHATTAN, KAN. (RFD-TV) — Wheat farmers are applauding the Trump Administration’s efforts to expand agricultural trade with Latin America. Four new pacts are in the framework stage right now and are expected to be signed within the next two weeks. Dalton Henry, with the U.S. Wheat Associates, joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to talk about what this means for their industry.
In his interview with RFD-TV News, Dalton discussed what these developing agreements could mean for the industry, beginning with Ecuador — a market showing strong potential for increased U.S. wheat demand as trade barriers ease and purchasing opportunities grow. He also highlighted the developing frameworks with El Salvador and Guatemala, two markets that rely heavily on imported wheat and could offer expanded opportunities for U.S. producers if agreements are finalized.
Henry noted that Argentina remains a key competitor in the global wheat market, but said a potential trade framework with the country could create new avenues for cooperation and stability in regional supply chains. Looking ahead, he said, U.S. wheat farmers are cautiously optimistic as trade negotiations continue, hopeful these new agreements will lead to long-term market growth and stronger export relationships across Latin America.
