Trade update from ISA CEO Kirk Leeds
October 28, 2020
ISA CEO Kirk Leeds says we finally have some good news after years of disappointing export and market numbers after recent Chinese purchases of U.S. soy. He tells "The State of Soy" that China remains an important player in the world market, buying 60% of the world's soybeans. But other countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Egypt will be growing markets for U.S. soybeans. Leeds says the checkoff program plays an important role in building demand overseas and leveraging resources that lead to the development of long term customers for high-quality U.S. soy.
