MOFCOM said June 1 its minister Raimondo met visiting Brazilian foreign minister Vieira to discuss China‑Brazil trade and multilateral cooperation. Brazil is China’s largest source of soybeans and beef and YTD imports of both from Brazil have risen sharply. China said it is willing to maintain communication with Brazil on related issues, including soybean inspection and safety standards and duty‑free beef quota, to jointly promote higher‑quality bilateral agricultural trade.
