In Illinois, Reuters reported that U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war with China comes at a bad time for sorghum growers in the country.
The report noted that China accounted for nearly 90% of U.S. sorghum exports last year. Those purchases have largely ground to a halt, due to the tariffs war between the two nations.
U.S. sorghum exports to China declined to 78,316 metric tons in January and February from more than 1.4 million metric tons over the same period a year earlier, down 95%, according to U.S. government data.
