Argentina Poised for First China Corn Cargoes in 15 Years

(Bloomberg) — Argentina is preparing corn shipments to China that will be the first in 15 years, the latest move by the two countries to expand agricultural trade.

Cargoes that Cofco International Ltd. has been putting together could be the first since China re-opened its doors to Argentine corn following drawn-out diplomatic talks, said Gustavo Idigoras, head of Ciara-Cec, a national crop-export group whose members include the major agricultural trading houses.
