More US agricultural products on way

More agricultural products imported from the United States will help meet demand from Chinese consumers and promote supply-side structural reform in the agricultural sector, experts said on Thursday.

Their analysis followed the signing of the phase-one China-US trade agreement on Wednesday in Washington, winding down a 22-month trade dispute between the world's two biggest economies.

Under the agreement, China will purchase more US agricultural products, including beef, pork, wheat, dairy, rice and aquatic products, from now until the end of 2021. The US will allow Chinese agricultural products, such as fragrant pears, citrus and jujube, to enter the US market.
