Below you will find an accompanying quote for a coalition letter distributed yesterday to United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer regarding the United States' involvement in the World Trade Organization.
“U.S. agriculture needs every chance to participate in clear, rules-based global trade. Departure from the World Trade Organization would be detrimental to the success of the very industry that feeds our families, and 20 percent of the U.S. economy. NASDA looks forward to supporting WTO reform that grows export opportunities for American farmers, ranchers, and value-added food producers.” -NASDA CEO Dr. Barb Glenn
