President Trump announced a Framework for an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade with Indonesia that will unlock significant market access for American farmers, manufacturers, innovators, and producers. The landmark deal will deliver lasting wins for the American people, lowering tariff and non-tariff barriers for American exporters.
This breakthrough deal was met with immediate praise from American farmers, ranchers, industry leaders, and lawmakers:
International Dairy Foods Association Senior Vice President of Trade and Workforce Policy Becky Rasdall Vargas: We could not be more enthusiastic and energized about today's announcement for improved access for U.S. dairy exports to Indonesia. Indonesia is an important trading partner in a region that is critical to U.S. dairy exports, and growing. Today's announcement represents the largest improvement of access U.S. dairy exporters have seen in the region in over a decade and will be a timely step towards keeping U.S. dairy exporters globally competitive. We express our sincere appreciation to the Administration and the negotiators for achieving this positive outcome for U.S. dairy.
U.S. Dairy Export Council President and CEO Krysta Harden: Yesterday’s announcement is an important step forward in advancing opportunities for U.S. dairy exporters. This deal is poised to strengthen our long-term partnership with Indonesia while giving U.S. dairy companies a better shot at competing fairly.
National Milk Producers Federation President and CEO Gregg Doud: This looks like it will be a significant win for U.S. dairy. We commend the Trump Administration for securing an agreement that should deliver real benefits for our dairy farmers.
Consortium for Common Food Names Executive Director Jamie Castaneda: The prospect of having Indonesia commit to a more transparent and balanced approach to GIs would be a meaningful advance in the global fight to preserve the use of common food names like parmesan and feta.
American Soybean Association President and Kentucky Soybean Farmer Caleb Ragland: We appreciate President Trump and his administration's efforts in maintaining market access for U.S. soybeans into Indonesia, and the commitment from USTR to address non-tariff barriers in that market. We look forward to future deals like this that reduce tariffs and ensure continued and increased market access for U.S. agriculture.
National Oilseed Processors Association President and CEO Devin Mogler: We commend the Trump Administration for prioritizing U.S. farmers in this trade deal with Indonesia, and specifically for including soybean meal purchases. NOPA members have invested over $6 billion to expand U.S. soybean crushing capacity by over 25% since 2023 levels to meet growing demand for food, feed and biofuel use, adding value to the crops our great U.S. farmers produce. Ensuring we have access to growing soybean meal markets like Indonesia ensures our farmers remain.
