“We always aim to bring discussions that are both realistic, yet willing to challenge the status quo in order to find the best way forward for the industry,” FPAA president Lance Jungmeyer said in the release.
“Knocking down technical barriers to trade will be one the key challenges for agriculture in the coming years, if we want a level playing field at all.”
