LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska will get to sell more than $405 million worth of corn, soybeans, wheat and other commodities to Taiwanese businesses under an agreement set to be signed next week.

Gov. Pete Ricketts announced Wednesday that the state’s agriculture director will travel to Taiwan to finalize the deal with letters of intent. Ricketts says Taiwan is an important trading partner, and the agreement will benefit Nebraska’s farmers and ranchers.

Department of Agriculture Director Greg Ibach says Nebraska has signed similar deals in the past, but the newest one includes the purchase of beef and pork products.

Nebraska exports about $7.2 billion in agricultural products annually. Taiwan is the United States’ 9th largest trading partner.
