Japan agreed to $8 billion in agricultural purchases. What specifically did Japan commit to?

Question

Accepted Answer

Japan's $8 billion commitment includes corn, soybeans, ethanol, fertilizer, and sustainable aviation fuel—plus increasing U.S. rice imports by 75%. The rice increase is notable because Japan historically protects its domestic rice industry with high tariffs and import quotas. The UK separately committed to $5 billion in new agricultural export opportunities, including $700 million in ethanol and better market access for American beef. These deals aim to offset lost Chinese purchases by diversifying American agricultural exports.
