A delegation of Taiwanese agriculture officials has signed a joint-agreement to pursue the importation of California wheat, the California Wheat Commission announced today. The news is significant because it opens the door for the state’s wheat growers to boost international sales of its crop, said Robert Falconer, Executive Director of the commission. “These international trade missions typically skip us in favor of the major Midwestern wheat growers,” he said. “But the world is beginning to realize California fills an important niche.”
