One day after joining with several ag organizations to urge passage of the Colombia, Panama and South Korea free trade agreements – National Corn Growers Association First Vice President Garry Niemeyer testified before the Senate Finance Committee on the importance of the deal with Panama. He noted that Panama is one of the fastest growing economies in Latin America. U.S. corn exports to the country have decreased by 20-percent since they reached their peak in 2008. He says the U.S. share of that market will continue to plummet if the U.S. fails to capture the opportunities in the Panama Trade Promotion Agreement.
