Corn exporters are highly concerned about the development of the ban

Introduction: according to Chinese government officials, Indonesia decided to temporarily ban the import of corn and soybeans from China on the basis of foot-and-mouth disease in Hong Kong, which is likely to affect China's corn export When Dow Jones news agency contacted the official of the agricultural products export department under the Ministry of Commerce of China, he said he was not aware of Indonesia's ban He said they haven't been informed yet, but it will definitely affect China's corn exports To date, the Ministry of Commerce has taken no action on Indonesia's decision According to USY, sofjan sudardjat, a senior official of Indonesia's Ministry of agriculture, said Indonesia had temporarily banned imports of corn and soybeans from China due to the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Hong Kong But he said Indonesia would lift the ban once it was confirmed that there was no foot-and-mouth disease in China A senior US COFCO official also voiced concerns about Indonesia's ban The manager of COFCO's corn Division said the corn trade between China and Indonesia would definitely be affected, but they have not received any formal notice so far He added that COFCO needed to clarify the matter with Indonesia before any countermeasures could be taken Puzzled by Indonesia's ban on corn imports from China He said it was ridiculous How could FMD spread through corn? COFCO has not exported any corn to Indonesia in recent weeks, nor has it held talks with any buyers in Indonesia Dow Jones remembers not being able to reach COFCO, another company the Chinese government has authorized for corn exports At the same time, according to an analyst from China's Ministry of agriculture, Chinese exporters are likely to find buyers from other countries to replace Indonesia Corn sales are not a problem, the analyst said At present, the world's corn demand is very strong, China can export corn to other countries Usy
