Im mary moloney tag if you are looking to get rid of an earworm, researchers have a few suggestions engage fully with the song by listening to it coming up in todays agribusiness report. An agreement covering 40 percent of the Global Economy is on hold. As chinas demand for pork is pushing farmers to have a close trading relationship. Report, im david geiger. A massive trade agreement between 12 countries. Covering 40 percent of the Global Economy. Is on hold. The obama pass the transpacific partnership. Called tpp. In the last leg of the presidency. House and Senate Leaders were not interested in going after a vote because president elect donald trump has been against the deal. And intends on withdrawing from it. One of the few agribusinesses that was against the tpp is the National Farmers union. Its president Roger Johnson says its a bad deal as it stands. As a whole. Us agriculture has a trade surplus. But you have to look and there the us economy has a large trade deficit. The trade surplus in agriculture is about 5 percent of the overall deficit, the deficit is enormous. Its over half a trillion dollars a year, its a three percent drag on our gdp, and its two to five million jobs that are other countries instead of here. The National Grain and feed association is for the tpp. They say it opens up a lot of Market Access for livestock. But even with the deal going nowhere now. They are still looking forward to working with the new administration. They are open to trade, they are just hesitant for a large trade deal, but we do know that they want to talk about it and they want to designate smart people with a lot of experience in agriculture and trade that were going to work with, talk to them why we like it, why we need access in those markets and why Multi Lateral agreements agreements. An aspect of the tpp involves how the United States works with countries on the pacific ocean. President obama is expected to travel to peru this month. There he will talk to chinas president as well as members of the tpp according to a White House Press call. China consumes half of the worlds pork production. The Us Meat Export Federation says chinese demand. Affects global demand. Especially on the United States to have a close and cooperative and constructive trading relationship with china. Tpps not part of that process but its a step in that direction. It says to all the countries in the region that we want to be part of this Trading Network with you lively supports the tpp and says Us Agriculture needs it. To stay competitive. China is building a separate trade gain a huge advantage in trade. He adds some day china could become a part of the tpp. The Farmers Union thinks its a good thing tpp is dead in the lame duck session. But that doesnt mean it cant be fixed. I dont necessarily believe that that means its dead forever. The Trump Administration is saying they can do a better job in negotiating, there are some fairly basic things that could be done to renegotiate tpp that would be good for us and that i think other us trade representativ e Michael Froman says the tpp is in purgatory right now. Adding years of negotiating the deal was not a waste. The deal can still be implemented. Froman was a big supporter of the trade agreement and hopes the benefits will be seen over time. And that wraps up the show for today. I hope to see you again next time well post a video every day in the agriculture section of kcrg. Com. Im david geiger with the agribusiness report.
