Australia Sends First Barley Exports to China Following Tariff Removal

Australia exported its first shipment of barley to China after the Chinese duties on the agricultural product were dropped (see 2308040064), Australian Agriculture Minister Murray Watt said during a news conference. The exports were sent from Kwinana -- a major terminal for grains below Perth operated by CBH Group. China imposed the duties in 2020 due to a breakdown in relations between the two nations.
