NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE June 2025 105 The American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) stated it is pleased to see a cooling of U.S. tariffs on and retaliatory tariffs from China and a proposed trade agreement with the United Kingdom coming to fruition, given discussions on the week of May 5th, 2025, and over the weekend between the U.S. and respective countries’ trade officials. Both China and the United Kingdom present valuable opportunities for U.S. animal food manufacturers, which produce some of the safest, highest quality and innovative feed, feed ingredients and pet food globally. Under the potential agreement with China, the United States would lower tariffs on Chinese imports to 30% from its current 145%; China would reduce its import duty to 10% from 125% on American goods; and the global superpowers would place a 90-day pause on new tariffs while trade representatives negotiate. “China is a top destination for many U.S. animal food products and provides many essential ingredients, like vitamins, not produced elsewhere globally that allow U.S. animal food manufacturers to produce complete and balanced animal food,” said AFIA President and CEO Constance Cullman. “We support President Donald Trump’s initiative to ensure our trading partners are treating American industries fairly and are in our best national security interests. We are hopeful that the 90-day tariff pause will provide the breathing room needed for Chinese and U.S. trade officials to reach a mutual agreement that benefits the U.S. animal food industry and agricultural economy.” Read more>> AFIA welcomes progress in trade talks with China and United Kingdom shutterstock | 750559654 AGRILIVESTOCK & FEED TAIWAN Unlocking Global Business Scan the QR to register — enjoy early access to event updates, networking features, & exclusive forum registrations.
