China lowers tariffs on US agricultural products
China announced the reduction of tariffs on a range of American agricultural products, including corn, wheat, meats, and dairy products, in an effort to ease trade tensions with Washington. However, soybeans are excluded from these reductions, as their tariffs remain at 10%. This announcement follows a summit between Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump. Analysts interpret the exclusion of soybeans as having political implications, as it serves as a bargaining tool in negotiations ahead of the U.S. elections. An agreement was also reached to establish a joint trade council to explore mutual tariff reductions on goods worth $30 billion. Meanwhile, Chinese companies have already purchased over 12 million tons of American soybeans, despite them being less competitive in terms of price, which reduces the likelihood of increased market share in the U.S. in the near future. The total value of the agricultural trade covered by these measures is estimated at around $17 billion for 2024, excluding soybeans.
