1. Global economic growth and the rise of the “middle class” in developing countries
2. Value of the U.S. dollar3. Worldwide biofuels production4. Role of trade and trade liberalization5. Agricultural input prices and its effect on profitability6. Additional crop land7. Biotech developments
By 2025, 53% of the world’s households will have joined the middle class (greater than real PPP incomes of $20,000/yr).
Global economy emerged from worst recession in decades in 2010. Despite recent challenges, developing countries performed better and growing faster than developed countries.
Impact on global food demand will be significant due to higher income elasticities for food in developing countries.

China and India had a lot of similarities in 2002 (big, growing countries pursuing self‐sufficiency.) But then China decided to become more integrated in the world trading system, including by joining the WTO and committing to relatively low ag tariffs. It has prospered: stronger economic growth, food security, and rural development.

Agriculture Trade is Important in the United States
8
Global agricultural trade has grown sharply over the past decade with the growth in food demand and trade liberation (bilateral and regional FTAs).
This will continue over the next decade but at a slower pace than previous decade. Still, global ag trade should reach a record $1.2 trillion by 2023 – up from over $900 million in 2013.
Most countries’ agricultural imports have increased substantially, esp. China and East/Southeast Asia. U.S. and EU imports growing, too particularly for consumer‐oriented, high value foods (including processed food and beverage products).
Almost all major agricultural exporters have seen sharp gains in recent years – not just the U.S.
FTAs have proliferated worldwide improving market access for participating countries, thereby boosting import demand. This trend will continue ‐‐ with or without the U.S.

Trade is important for U.S. agriculture.
Market growth focused in developing countries. Developed countries: market share is driving force.
Trade agreements can remove barriers to U.S. exports, like tariffs, and promote economic growth, expanding demand for food products.
Trade agreements continue globally, standing still is falling behind.
TPP offers opportunity to gain share in one of the most attractive markets (Japan) and lock in access to growing markets in Asia (Vietnam, Malaysia, others.)
TTIP offers opportunity to address problems in EU.
Success in TPP and TTIP will create opportunities with other countries.
TPA, TPP, TTIP, … oh my!
