THE US Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently showcased American farm produce at China's largest import fair for the first time since the event's launch in 2018, reports Caixin.
This was part of Washington's efforts to boost US farm sales despite intensifying bilateral tensions with China in other spheres.
The USDA co-hosted the first official US pavilion at the China International Import Expo (CIIE) with AmCham Shanghai.
"Agriculture may be the success story in the relationship between our two governments, because there's a perfect fit," said US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns.
After suffering a sharp decline in 2018, when then-US President Donald Trump launched a trade war against China, the country's agricultural purchases from the US picked up steadily in the following years.
