CNBC reports that US farmers could take the largest hit in a US-China trade war, since agriculture is a major share of US exports to China. Soybeans accounted for $10.5 billion of the $20.2 billion in US farm exports to China in 2015, and Global Times said China would target soybean and corn imports in retaliation.
Retaliation targeting soybeans and corn would reduce US export demand and pressure domestic prices, while the risk premium depends on whether duties are actually imposed.
