FAS/Nairobi was happy to participate in this discussion with Chargé d’Affaires Carla Benini and @GFN on #foodsecurity and emerging ag technologies. Consistent, sustained access to quality feed grains bolsters both productivity and livelihoods.

Business-to-Business meetings are the lifeblood of Dept. of Agriculture agribusiness trade missions. Here in Bogota, U.S. companies are connecting with local buyers that are hungry to bring these world-class 🇺🇸food and ag products to Colombian consumers.

It is a pleasure being appointed to the USDA, USTR Agricultural Policy Advisory Committee (APAC). I look forward to working with APAC members on ag trade issues. USDA, USTR Announce Appointments to Seven Agricultural Trade Advisory Committees content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDAO…

The tariff debate is heating up. Businesses need clarity to move forward, but uncertainty is stalling growth. What do you think: Are tariffs the right move or a risky gamble? #Trade #Tariffs #Economy #Markets #BusinessGrowth #SmallBusiness

Wrapping up the week in Kenya with an excellent workshop alongside ILRI, KALRO, and USDA/FAS! It’s been a rewarding experience learning about diverse livestock systems and forage production. #forage #beef

Focused on food and ag products…first, USMCA stands. Thats the bulk of US imports/exports for food and ag. But some large increases for some country imports. But I suspect this will evolve quickly.

Very smart people have been laughing at USTR's approach to deriving reciprocal tariffs. It is uncalled for and unfair! One must invoke the "Mercantilist Trade Deal" Theorem and the "Professor, can we cease and desist with this nonsense" Rule. The rest is basic derivations.

The mockery ends now! 🙃 Here I show how the now infamous USTR equation can be derived using basic supply and demand. I only needed a made up theorem and a somewhat made up rule. Chad P. Bown and Paul Krugman, #ChatGPT is not this clever! 🙂
