Bunge charters first Argentine soy meal cargo to China

BUENOS AIRES, July 7 (Reuters) - Grains merchant Bunge has chartered 30,000 metric tons of Argentine soybean meal cargo destined for China, data seen by Reuters on Monday showed, marking the first soymeal cargo from Argentina since Beijing approved Argentine imports in 2019.

Reuters reported last month that several Chinese animal feed makers had jointly signed the deal for the shipment as China's animal feed industry looks to broaden its supply options to mitigate potential disruptions from the U.S.-China trade war.
