As the first year of the Trump administration's second term passes its midpoint, the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) has navigated a complex landscape of trade negotiations, regulatory changes, and supply chain vulnerabilities while pushing for critical legislative reforms.

AFIA President and CEO Constance Cullman joins the podcast to share how U.S. feed industry stakeholders have upped their engagement with key policymakers. Progress aside, she warns that ongoing staffing cuts at key federal agencies and the administration's tariff strategies present opportunities and risks for feed producers seeking to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers — particularly China's dominance in the vitamin market — while maintaining competitive export positions.
