Kansas Ag Connection - 05/21/2018

U.S. Senator Pat Roberts, R-Kan., chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, made the following statement after the People's Republic of China moved to end an anti-dumping and countervailing investigation on U.S. sorghum imports.

"America's sorghum producers can breathe a sigh of relief today," Roberts said. "I thank President Trump for listening every time I brought this issue before him at the White House. I look forward to the Administration's continued engagement with China, and I urge President Trump to continue pursuing open markets for all U.S. industries."

Kansas Governor Jeff Colyer also applued the news of China dropping its anti-dumping probe into imports of U.S. sorghum.

"From the time this investigation began in early February, I have been meeting with farmers, traders, the Trump administration and the Chinese Consul General to push for a resolution which would protect Kansas farmers. Kansas is the leading sorghum producing state in the nation, and I will continue to stand side by side with Kansas farmers to fight for fair trade practices," Colyer said.

At every meeting with President Trump, Senator Roberts has stressed the importance of trade to America's farmers and ranchers. In 2017 alone, Kansas exported over $700 million in grain sorghum, leading the country in both production and exports.
