China signals tariff cuts, advances in farm market access after Trump-Xi summit

China and the United States said the deal is preliminary, with Beijing pledging tariff cuts and new steps to reopen farm markets.

  • On Saturday, China and the United States agreed to expand agricultural trade through reciprocal tariff cuts and addressing non-tariff barriers, with China's commerce ministry calling the agreements "preliminary" and pledging finalization soon.
  • These measures aim to reverse a sharp 2025 downturn where U.S. farm exports to China fell 65.7% to $8.4 billion amid tariffs, while a 10% levy persists on agricultural imports.
  • Beijing granted five-year registration extensions to 425 U.S. beef plants on Friday and approved new five-year registrations for 77 additional facilities, restoring access for previously excluded exporters.
  • Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said China is expected to buy "double-digit billions" worth of U.S. farm goods over the next three years, though neither side has disclosed specific products or volumes.
  • "Tariff reductions on agricultural products would mark a normalization of China-U.S. farm trade," said Johnny Xiang, founder of Beijing-based AgRadar Consulting, allowing commercial buyers to re-enter the market.
