The #Arkansas attorney general has instructed ChemChina, a company owned by China, to sell its #farmland in Craighead County. This is the first instance of enforcing a state law that prohibits foreign entities from owning agricultural land. #ChemChina has been fined $280,000 for not submitting documents on time. This action is part of a larger pattern in the United States, where several states have passed #laws to limit foreign ownership of agricultural land, specifically focusing on countries such as #China, #Iran, #NorthKorea, and #Russia.
