This week, during the first visit of a U.S. President to the People's Republic of China since 2017, President Donald Trump reached consensus with President Xi Jinping on several issues. China will purchase at least $17B per year of U.S. agricultural products in 2026, 2027, and 2028, in addition to the soybean purchase commitments that it made in October 2025. Additionally, China "restored" market access for U.S. beef by renewing expired listings of more than 400 U.S. beef facilities and adding new listings. China has also resumed imports of poultry from U.S. states determined by the USDA to be free of highly pathogenic avian influenza. China approved an initial purchase of 200 American-made Boeing (BA) aircraft for Chinese airlines. Publicly traded companies in the space include Andersons (ANDE), Archer Daniels (ADM), Bunge (BG), CF Industries (CF), Compass Minerals (CMP), Intrepid Potash (IPI) and Mosaic (MOS).
