California Prune Board strengthens trade ties with China
The California Prune Board welcomed the news of the phase one trade agreement between the U.S. and China as recently announced by the USDA last week.
“The first phase of the trade deal with China is promising,” said Donn Zea, executive director for the California Prune Board. “While this round doesn’t include specialty crops like prunes, we are encouraged by the agreement and the path forward. Even with barriers in the market, we keep a focus on China by strengthening relationships with the trade. This spring we are bringing California Prune growers to Beijing and Hong Kong to visit with the trade, reconfirming our commitment to support their sales of premium California Prunes.”
