# Is China’s sorghum deal with Brazil cause for alarm? - High Plains Journal

> Brazil and China signed 37 agreements during Xi Jinping's visit to Brasilia, including approval for Brazil to export sorghum to China. Brazil currently produces about 44 million metric tons, roughly 8 percent of world output, and has exported little so far. The US sends about half its sorghum crop to China, worth about $1.83 billion.

## Why it matters
