Nov. grains imports fall
    2018-12-24  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

THE country’s November barley imports dropped further, while sorghum intake remained a trickle, customs data showed yesterday.

Imports of barley, used both in brewing and livestock feed, fell to 110,000 tons, down 83.5 percent from a year earlier, according to data from the General Administration of Customs.

The fall came as China launched an anti-dumping probe last month into shipments of the grain from top supplier Australia.

Australia exported 6.48 million tons to China in 2017, worth about US$1.5 billion and close to three quarters of the 8.86 million tons of barley that Chinese importers took last year, according to customs data.

In another measure likely to curb shipments of the grain into next year, China launched an anti-subsidy probe into barley imports from Australia on Friday, ramping up pressure on suppliers.

China’s imports of sorghum, another main ingredient for animal feed, dropped 97.6 percent in November from a year earlier to 10,000 tons, customs data showed.

China slapped a 25-percent duty on imports of the grain from the United States on July 6. The United States is by far China’s top sorghum supplier, accounting for 94 percent of its imports in 2017.

Meanwhile, China’s pork imports rose in November from the previous month, customs data showed.

China imported 91,443 tons of pork in November, up 10.2 percent from the previous month. In October, China’s pork imports totaled 82,949 tons.

China’s corn imports in November came to 120,000 tons, up 438.7 percent from the same month of 2017, the data also showed. China brought in 140,000 tons of wheat in November, down 22.5 percent year on year.(SD-Agencies)
