USDA released a series of fact sheets that the federal agency says illustrate how the Trans-Pacific Partnership can boost the U.S. agriculture industry.
Created by USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service, the fact sheets graphically depict how each state and individual commodities stand to benefit from increased agricultural trade with the 11 other TPP countries.
Trade with these countries accounted for 42 percent of U.S. agricultural exports in 2014, contributing $63 billion to the U.S. economy, according to USDA.
Fact sheets for each state, including California are available online at www.fas.usda.gov.
