Statement by Zippy Duvall, President, American Farm Bureau Federation, Regarding China Poultry Dispute
Washington, D.C., May 10, 2016 -- "United States Trade Representative Michael Froman today announced he would bring a challenge in the World Trade Organization against Chinese tariffs that unfairly tax U.S. poultry exports. We are enthusiastic supporters of Ambassador Froman's action."
"We agree: China is misusing anti-dumping rules. China's actions keep U.S. poultry from being sold to Chinese consumers at a price that reflects a fair profit for American farmers and real value for its own citizens."
"Trade enforcement is an essential part of an effective trade policy. Farm Bureau supports trade that brings fair prices to farmers and good nutrition to a rapidly-growing population around the world. We applaud USTR for pursuing this action."
