NEW YORK, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) — China remains our “most irreplaceable customer,” said Jim Sutter, chief executive officer of the U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We have been in China since 1982. Over the past 43 years, we’ve invested in relationship-building, training and cooperation with the Chinese industry to create mutual trust,” Sutter told Xinhua in an online interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Sutter, the USSEC maintains a team of about 20 staff members in China, working closely with feed, livestock and food companies on programs related to feed formulation, sustainability and quality management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After more than four decades of cooperation, the agricultural partnership between the two countries “has brought tremendous mutual benefits,” Sutter said, expressing strong confidence in the Chinese market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is leading the U.S. soy delegation at this year’s China International Import Expo (CIIE), participating in agricultural forums and engaging directly with buyers at the U.S. pavilion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A total of 13 U.S. agricultural commodity groups — covering soybeans, corn, dairy and meat — are exhibiting together to showcase the quality, sustainability and reliability of American farm products, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“CIIE gives us the opportunity to tell our Chinese partners face to face that we’re still here,” Sutter said. “It’s an important way to demonstrate our continued commitment to cooperation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sutter praised China’s continued policy of opening up. “That’s a very wise policy,” he said. “China and the world have much to offer each other, and cooperation benefits both sides enormously.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Agriculture has always been a bridge between nations,” he said. “In this period of uncertainty, our responsibility is to keep that bridge strong — not let it collapse.” \u25a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
