Mar 2017 - Present
I work to open, maintain, and expand international markets for U.S. agricultural products, help clients navigate and address sustainability issues, and eliminate foreign trade barriers impacting U.S. agri-food exports. Examples of work include: - Opened new markets for U.S. agricultural goods including U.S. cherries, potatoes, table grapes, and blueberries as part of bilateral phytosanitary negotiations with foreign governments. This includes China, Korea, Mexico, Cuba, Burma, Chile, Indonesia, and the Philippines, resulting in new exports of more than $50 million. - Resolved major regulatory and phytosanitary issues in Mexico and Taiwan that threatened over $200 million of U.S. agri-food exports. Coordinated changes to foreign regulations to prevent future rejections. - Secured the release of more than 50 instances of U.S. agricultural products held in international markets for invalid quarantine and regulatory issues, saving U.S. companies more than $500,000 in losses. - Resolved an end use trade barrier in India that restricted imports of U.S. hops to the Indian market. - Consulted with U.S. Government negotiators on U.S. trade agreement negotiations with Japan, China ("Phase One"), the UK, Kenya, and USMCA. This resulted in important tariff concessions for U.S. agricultural exports to Japan and retained zero tariff conditions for products to Mexico and Canada under USMCA, as well as new market access for several U.S. fresh agricultural commodities to China. - Coordinated U.S. cranberry industry engagement to secure tariff reductions in the United Kingdom and the European Union via domestic duty suspension processes. - Led industry engagement with proposed sustainability regulations in the EU, Canada, UK, and other markets.
