Brazil sends first sorghum shipment to China in a decade
In Brazil, Reuters reported that Brazil exported its first shipment of sorghum to China since 2014 in January, but in a volume small enough to fit inside a single shipping container, according to Brazilian government.
The shipment of 25.83 metric tons was Brazil’s first to the Asian country in 12 years, shortly after 10 trading companies were authorized to export the grain to China last November, according to the report.
According to official records, the last time China bought Brazilian sorghum was in 2014, when its purchases totaled 1,374.5 tons for the year. After that, official records no longer show sales of Brazilian sorghum to China.
