Agri-Pulse Open Mic: Jim Sutter - CEO, U.S. Soybean Export Council
This week's Open Mic guest is Jim Sutter, CEO of the U.S. Soybean Export Council. Prices and trade policy have challenged U.S. soybean exports, especially as large volumes of Brazilian soybeans have displaced traditional sales to China. Having met with Chinese industry and government officials, Sutter says the Chinese want a better trade relationship with the U.S. but he is also focused on market diversification. He believes the higher quality of U.S. soy and sustainable production practices should lead to a rebound in global sales.
