Description
Announced plans to remove, from 1 January 2019, import tariffs on soybean meal substitutes (notably rapeseed, cottonseed, sunflower seed and palm kernel meal).

The Chinese Government introduced additional measures to mitigate the impact of its retaliatory import tariff on U.S. soybeans on the domestic market (see also MPPU Dec.18).
