Argentine maize for China:
The Chinese Government has authorized imports of two of the most widely sown varieties of Argentine maize.

Most of bulk grain trade between Argentina and China, so far, has consisted of soya beans.
There have been optimistic reports as various “non tariffs” barriers being lifted, but this last news appears to lift the “bio sanitary” restriction that had blocked the trade until now.
