(1) US welcomes the trend that China import more and more. The fact is US is the largest agricultural exporter*--though China remains the largest PRODUCER**--of the world. Whatever China wants, whereever it turns, China will find US produces are cheaper, more in quantity.

(Six countries - the US, Canada, France, Australia, Argentina and Thailand - supply 90% of grain exports. The United States controls almost half of world grain exports. Water deficits, which are already spurring heavy grain imports in numerous middle-sized countries, including Algeria, Iran, Egypt, and Mexico, may soon do the same in larger countries, such as China or India./ section 13 List of countries by agricultural output (in 2009; in US$): China > India> US > Brazil > Japan > Russia > Spain > France > Australia > Italy)

My comment: Except China, the top agricultural producers are also top agricultural exporters.  

(2) China is the best OPPORTUNITY for American farmers.

Quote:

"Historically, bulk commodities—wheat, rice, coarse grains, oilseeds, cotton, and tobacco—accounted for most of U.S. agricultural exports. However, in the 1990s, U.S. exports of high-value products (HVP)—meats, poultry, live animals, oilseed meals, vegetable oils, fruits, vegetables, and beverages—showed steady growth, while exports of bulk commodities tended to fluctuate more widely, particularly in response to global supplies and prices.

"While grains and feeds are our leading export group, both oilseeds and products and animals and animal products are  the next largest export groups.

("Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack points out that agriculture is one of the few major areas of the economy with a trade surplus [with 2010 estimated surplus of $23b]. * * * At the same time, farm exports are expected to break the all-time high set in two thousand eight")

Value(mil.dol).  Footnote 4 states, "China includes Macao, However, Hong Kong remains separately economically until 2050 and is not included.")
