After the US-China trade war beginning, the Ukrainian maize producers have started replacing the Americans on the Chinese domestic maize market, Ukrinform says referring to the Voice of America report.
As to the report, previously US were the main maize exporter to China: thus, within 2011/12, the US maize share on the Chinese domestic market reached almost 100% (about 5 million tons). However,
already at the beginning of the trade war launched by US President Donald Trump, the US maize producers exported only 0.3 million tons maize (or below 10% of the total Chinese maize import).
In meanwhile, Ukraine has been growing its maize export to China. Thus, as to experts, this year the Ukrainian maize export to China is expected to reach 4 million tons (or 80% of the total Chinese maize import).
