Words I love seeing in the same paragraph:
dollars millions North Dakota wheat Taiwan
From Great Falls Tribune:
Taiwan has once again agreed to purchase
a large share of U.S. wheat over the next two years, with most of it
coming from Idaho, North Dakota and Montana.
Idaho
Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter and Taiwanese milling industry officials signed
the $576 million agreement Wednesday at the Idaho Capitol in Boise.
That totals 1.8 million metric tons of U.S. wheat in 2018 and 2019
combined.
According to the Idaho Wheat Commission,
Taiwan mostly buys Idaho’s soft white wheat to use in cookies, crackers
and noodles. However, Taiwan has also been buying more of the state’s
hard red wheat to use in bread.
This is the 11th
time leaders with the Taiwan Flour Millers Association — which imports
wheat on behalf of all 20 Taiwanese flour mills — have pledged to buy
U.S. wheat.
The United States supplies more than 80 percent of Taiwan’s total wheat imports each year.
