摘要:The fortunes of U.S. farmers and
food processors are increasingly
influenced by events in markets
around the world. The importance
of trade is not new, but as world
economies become more interrelated,
U.S. agricultural and food processing
sectors become more heavily
affected by changes in global
markets. One of the critical influences
on the U.S. food sector is rising
incomes and related changes in
the diets of consumers around the
world.
