Ag exporters grapple with COVID, trade war, political unknowns - Cold Chain Summit
from FreightWaves LIVE: An Events Podcast · host FreightWaves
It’s a recipe for trouble: COVID disruptions are pulling refrigerated containers away from food production areas. Twice this year, outbreaks stymied U.S. food shipments to China. Tariffs are still taking a bite out of ag sales. Trade tensions with China remain high. Trade negotiations with the EU are intensifying. And the presidential election could reset the entire equation in less than two weeks. To put the myriad issues faced by U.S. food exporters in perspective, FreightWaves Greg Miller interviewed Washington, D.C.-based Peter Friedmann, executive director of the Agriculture Transportation Coalition (AgTC), during the Cold Chain Summit Watch Apple Podcast Spotify More FreightWaves Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.
