(NAFB.com) – U.S. wheat farmers are welcoming the Trump administration’s efforts to expand agricultural trade in Latin America, with officials saying four new trade frameworks expected to be signed within the next two weeks. Dalton Henry of U.S. Wheat Associates told RFD-TV News on Wednesday that the agreements could boost demand in key markets such as Ecuador, where trade barriers are easing and purchasing opportunities are growing. Frameworks with El Salvador and Guatemala are also under development, offering potential expanded access for U.S. wheat in countries that rely heavily on imports. Henry noted that Argentina remains a major competitor in the global wheat market but said a trade framework could foster cooperation and stability in regional supply chains. “U.S. wheat farmers are cautiously optimistic,” Henry said, adding that the agreements could strengthen export relationships across Latin America and promote long-term market growth. Finalization of the pacts could provide a critical boost for producers facing global competition and fluctuating prices.
