China and Brazil grain deal could test US ties

November 25, 2024 - On November 20, 2024, China gave Brazil the go-ahead to begin exporting sorghum to Chinese buyers, a move which many found surprising as Brazil hardly exports the grain. 

The United States has a dominant presence in the Chinese sorghum market, which is why the development could help gauge US-China trade relations going forward.

Over the last several years US agricultural exporters have lost Chinese business to Brazil, and many market watchers feat this could continue if President-elect Donald Trump increased trade tariffs on China.

The US is the world's top exporter of sorghum and trade with China of sorghum last year brought in more than $1 billion.
