U.S. Farm Bureau President Pushes Trade Deal In UK

Duvall Meets British Leaders to Expand U.S. Farm Product Access

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall is actively encouraging stronger U.S.-U.K. agricultural trade ties during his visit to Great Britain. He is meeting with government leaders and farm representatives to advocate for a finalized trade agreement that will benefit both countries.

Duvall held meetings with the Department for Business and Trade and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, focusing on the importance of developing trade agreements that open new markets for U.S. farmers.

“I had positive meetings with the U.K.’s Department for Business and Trade, and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. We discussed the importance of creating new trade deals for America’s farmers and ranchers, and I shared with them the strength and safety of American agriculture.”

The recent trade announcement between the U.S. and UK in May could improve export opportunities for products like ethanol, a major component of U.S. agricultural output.

During his visit, Duvall also observed British farming practices, gaining insights into how both nations can collaborate in sustainable agriculture. He emphasized that U.S. and UK farming methods share more similarities than differences.

Duvall met with Ambassador Warren Stephens, discussing joint strategies to explore new global markets and support farm families in both countries.

The Farm Bureau remains hopeful that continued discussions will lead to long-term cooperation, mutual market access, and improved food supply chains across borders.
