China and Taiwan join the WTO
AgExporter, Feb, 2002
At the World Trade Organization (WTO) meeting in Doha, Qatar, in November 2001, China and Taiwan won approval to become new members of the WTO. China's and Taiwan's entries to the WTO will mean new export opportunities for a broad range of U.S. products. Last year, U.S. agricultural exports totaled more than $2 billion to Taiwan and more than $1.7 million to China.
The two markets ranked as the fifth and sixth largest, respectively, for imports of U.S. agricultural products. In the WTO, Taiwan will be officially known as Chinese Taipei.
