The import of soybeans is blocked. American officials will visit China to discuss the matter

Introduction: according to a well-informed American export source, due to the unexplained delay of imported soybeans in Chinese ports, this will damage the competitiveness of American soybeans And even non GM soybeans are not immune According to one exporter, there are four to five freighters in Chinese ports A U.S soybean exporter familiar with the matter said the Chinese were on board and had to take samples before allowing cargo ships to enter the port China's quality inspection bureau, which is responsible for the approval of genetically modified goods, will hold up to 10 days in the port before approving the unloading of these soybeans "Quarantine officials are very strict with imported soybeans," the source said In the end, the soybean processing plants in southern China still need to import soybeans, the exporters said, "because importing soybeans is the best choice for crushing from an economic and transportation perspective." Another U.S export company official said, "if China joins the world trade organization, I don't think this problem will exist, or at least I hope it will." At the same time, David hegwood, the USDA official who gave advice on Trade and biotechnology to Ann Veneman, the USDA chief, will travel to China with another official from USDA's Overseas Agricultural Bureau to discuss the matter After their visit, Allen Johnson, an official with the U.S trade negotiations Office (USTR), is expected to travel to China to discuss the matter and other U.S - China trade topics Johnson is USTR's chief agricultural negotiator at the level of ambassador (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
