China to buy $17B in US farm goods as costs climb

I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.
China has pledged to purchase at least $17 billion in U.S. farm goods annually from 2026 to 2028, excluding previous soybean commitments. Rising input costs due to the Iran conflict have increased diesel prices to $5.67 per gallon and limited fertilizer availability, putting pressure on U.S. farms. Additionally, disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have slowed oil and fertilizer flows, further impacting agricultural production costs.
