Why China’s Economy Doesn’t Want American Corn Anymore | WSJ U.S. vs. China

Video Description

The U.S. produces more corn than any other crop, with American farmers selling $5.3 billion of it to China last year. But China has spent years courting other producers as it is relying more on Brazil and other Latin American countries. China is also exploring ways to become self-sufficient long-term through embracing new technology and better farming education.
