# China signals willingness to expand US farm imports if reciprocal tariff cuts implemented

> China said it is open to increasing purchases of U.S. agricultural products if both countries implement reciprocal tariff reductions covering about $30 billion in imports from each side. The reductions would take effect simultaneously after both countries complete domestic legal procedures, and China urged the United States to lower tariffs and other trade barriers.

## Why it matters

The prospect of increased Chinese farm imports could support U.S. export demand, but the purchases remain conditional on tariff cuts taking effect. This makes the demand and price effect contingent rather than immediate.
