Didn't they also have like a swine epidemic of some sort recently that devastated their own capacity?  Something has to be mixed in with rice, suspect chickens are in short supply too, hungry people will devour whatever is available...and raw materials and manufacturing are one thing...food is something that always gets a governments attention...starving people are more likely to riot and slay their overlords.

Press on!

That's why China caved and is now importing America farm products, again.  They can't feed themselves.  They can't find other places to buy the food to feed their people other than America.

Pork is soaring in price.  I don't know the price of soybeans, there, but they're a huge part of the diet, also, from soy sauce to tofu to that little dish where you eat soybeans in the pod.

Great.  Now the damn pork chops are going to cost an arm and a leg here.

Hunting season, venison sausage.  Bet China has nothing to hunt.  Sucks to be them.

Local sales papers don't show much of a jump, if any.

They're also importing from Brazil.

Hmm, lemme see here...

Bushel of soy beans is 60 pounds, metric ton (I'm sure this article is metric) is 36.74 bushels, 480,000 metric tons would be 8,000 bushels...bushel is about $933 per...wait, article says $173M in US $'s?  If true the Brazilians are raping the heck out of their BRIC-mate!  Makes that "China" not in a hurry to buy from US quip seem like a load of crap!

Lest we forget...another reason why the Globalists needed to run every dirty deal they can with whoever (Biden's) they have to in order to keep their masters happy...

In line with tariffs and such, the CORE (get that?  CORE) Consumer Price Index "excludes volatile food and energy costs".

Yeah...goes back a long way...they figure most people are too stupid to realize they are being bullsh*tted into thinking all is well when it isn't...and like the myth of socialism making everybody equal in outcome was ignored by its brutalized and demoralized masses...most people know it is BS but go along with it anyway...

Hurting economically...hurting image-wise and economically with this corona virus that got loose...it makes sense they would slash their tariffs on some US goods...and I suspect more will be on the way and that the levels...if still too high...will meet continued pushback by us in the form of matching in-kind good going this direction.

  They are feeling the pain of not being able to get products out of China cause people aren't at work. Nothing food related should be accepted from them for a good long time if ever.
