After the punishment tariffs were lifted earlier this month, Australia exported the first batch of barley to China.
According to Bloomberg, Australian Agricultural Minister Watt Vatt said on Tuesday (August 29) in a press conference in Western Australia: "The first batch of (Western Australia port) Kwinana was issued.The Australian barley is transported on the way to China. "
Qunanga is the main export port of southern Perta, operated by Australia's largest wheat processing agency CBH Group.
Before China levied more than 80%of anti -dumping and anti -subsidy taxes from Australia in 2020, China was the largest export destination of barley in Australia.After China announced the withdrawal of punitive tariffs on Australian barley, Chinese merchants began to order from Australian exporters.
CBH Group CEO Manamara said at a press conference that the first batch of barley from Australia to China was about 55,000 tons.Stud, chairman of the CBH Group, added that after the tariff was lifted, the price of Australian barley immediately appeared from A $ 60 (about 43.60 to S $ 52.30).
China imposed more than 80%of the Australian barley in May 2020, accusing the Australian exporters of dumping barley in the Chinese market.However, since the Australian Labor government came to power in May 2022, Canberra has resumed communication with Beijing, and the relationship between China and Australia has improved significantly.
The Australian Minister of Trade Farrell said at a press conference: "We still have a lot of work to do, try to (let China) revoke the trade restrictions on (Australia) wine and lobster.At present, the good interaction with the Chinese government can be removed soon. "
