Trade War, the complete definition crisis is already inflated, “says US farms exporters

The clock beats Commercial deals that the United States will need To strike with many countries, most notably China, to avoid what Trump’s Treasury Secretary described as The “non -sustainable” warfare war. But in the American agricultural sector, the damage was already been exposed and the economic crisis has already begun.

American agricultural exporters say A global violent reaction to President Trump’s definitions It is punished, especially a decrease in the Chinese purchase of American agricultural products, which leads to canceled export orders and the demobilization of workers. Peter Friedman, Executive Director of Agricultural Transport Coalition, is a leading business group for farmers, tells CNBC The number of purchases that have been canceled from American agriculture should not be described as approaching the crisis. “It is really a complete crisis,” he said.

Data issued by the US Department of Agriculture revealed on Thursday that China has achieved the largest cancellation of pork orders since 2020, which has stopped a shipment of 12,000 tons of pork.

AGTC says the “huge” financial losses are already shared by its members as a result of the trade war, based on the reports they receive from member companies.

The source of the lober of wood and cardboard to the commercial group was reported on the immediate cancellation or its contract from 6400 metric tons in a warehouse and a contract of 15 railway vehicles sitting in the supply chain in the name of “cancellation”, when fees are imposed on the movement of the movement delay. Meanwhile, the source said that there are 9,000 metric tons on the water to China, which is expected to arrive on May 13 and face the threat of transferred conversion to the trained Chinese warehouses or to other countries where Chinese buyers may refuse the goods and abandon them in the port.

One of the exporters told the AGTC grass that it had received two weeks notice that eight loads were canceled by Chinese customers despite the already there are ship reservations.

At a recent meeting on the stakeholders at the headquarters of the Oakland Port in relation to the effects of customs tariffs, Christie McKini, Executive Director of Port Auckland, warned of a contraction caused by the customs tariff in the volume of goods in the port-whether by slowing the import or revenge export losses-in the end, can weaken the employment employment in the region.

MCKENNEY cited the retaliatory tariffs on American agricultural products, as well as manufactured goods, as basic exports that move across Auckland. Exports include almonds, beef, pork, dairy products and recycled materials, many of which are heading to Asia. China is ranked first in the trade partner for import in the port and the third export partner, which represents 29 % of the total trade volume in Auckland.

Unlike many American ports that are highly dependent on imports, Auckland is unique in maintaining the balance of approximately 50/50 of imports and exports. This leaves Auckland anxious that the revenge of the customs tariff will directly affect the best export destinations-Japan, Taiwan, China and South Korea-and it can lead to the erosion of the market share in California significantly for the canable goods and high value.

The Port of Auckland is the refrigerated export gate number 1 in the United States and all the goods that are moved almost across northern California pass through the port of Auckland.

“Many local and union jobs depend on the powerful shipping operations, including pavement workers, truck operators, and warehouse workers,” said Simon’s Democratic Party member, Simon. “I support the smart trade policies that workers raise and reduce the costs of Oakland’s working families – and not an illogical and revenge trade war.”

Agricultural exporters warn that there are no additional markets to quickly replace China’s demand and absorb the size, and this already affects prices.

“We have converted employees and production into another (less profitable) production and slowly slowed the purchase of independent sellers (Loggers, Truckers, Sawmills)” Al -Khash newspaper reported that some products have already decreased by 20 % in the market value, which it said will affect the planning of stock and future investments. “The American market was stable and equal, but it is now drowned in the stock of previous China’s products,” he added.

The source of feed, such as straw and straw, which represents a large American farmer, who provides livestock abroad, has reported 68 of the empty sailing after “Tahrir Day” in Trump, which limits its ability to export feed goods, with the area of ​​ships for export restricted on shipping ships that still call on American ports.

“The anxiety is that the area of ​​the ship that remains will be the most expensive/most expensive services that the products cannot absorb without selling in a loss. Being a low value of low value, we cannot afford radical increases in the ocean charging”, the feed was exported to AGTC.

There was A sharp decrease in China for US traffic22.15 % per week a week and 44 % year -old until April 14, according to the continuation Tracking global ocean reservations.

“What we have seen in the past two weeks is a continuous correction in reserving demand for American imports, especially American imports from China,” said Ben Treisi, Vizion Vice -President of the Vizion Strategic Development. “We now see this translation to a decrease in departure as well,” he added.

The straw source in central Washington, which sends a large amount of crop production to Hong Kong and the main mainland of China to redirect most of the exports that are shipped in the past two weeks to Japan, Dubai, Taiwan and some Chinese ports. These changes are costly for the company, and AGTC told, “It is not sustainable, no one can replace the size of the size that China buys.”

Place the straw source immediately to stop all requests in the process, and the workers began to lay off.

“We had to arrest our countdown employee by 12 people. This represents a quarter of our employees,” she wrote. The company said it is communicating with customers and employees in the hope that “making the reckless and reckless decisions in the upper part of our country will reflect, which reduces the deep problems we face at this time.”

In addition to the reaction of the customs tariff, agriculture faces a financial challenge waving on the horizon with the measures of the recently announced ship law approved by the representative of the American Trade, where the Chinese -made ships invite the American ports to be Flowed port fees for more than $ 1.5 million It begins in the fall.

Wholesale cultivation is carved from the port fees imposed under the USTR base, but the cultivation that is shipped in containers is not exempt from the fees. Friedman said that the exemption is necessary because the most valuable American agricultural exports are shipped in containers, not in bulk.

Barefoot exports include cooled beef, pork, poultry, fruits, vegetables, dairy and processed foods such as fried potatoes. Cotton, feed (straw, alfalfa), nuts, dried dairy, wood, paper, and soybeans for human consumption are also shipped in containers. “The efforts made to exempt all exports of agriculture, including container agriculture, are continuing,” said Friedman.

Based on American trade data, the American agriculture share in containers is about 25 % by size and about 55 % at value.

USTR did not respond to CNBC request to comment on fee exemptions for barefoot cultivation.

“Many of our future lies in the hands of a few,” one of the exporters. “We appeal to the colon to cast a very long look at what can be done to maintain the flow of shipments while making trade imbalances and perceived differences.”
