# Economist expects new considerations in grain markets | 2020-02-24  | World Grain

> Agricultural economists at the USDA Outlook Forum identified phase-one China agreement, coronavirus, African swine fever and Argentina's tariff changes as key 2020 grain and oilseed considerations. They also noted a stronger dollar could hurt U.S. exports, and that China's GDP growth is expected to slow.

## Why it matters
