Argentina's first soy meal shipment to China is key trade step, says grains chamber

BUENOS AIRES, July 7 (Reuters) - Argentina's first shipment of soybean meal to China is a "real and effective" trade opening to the Asian country, the head of the CIARA-CEC chamber of oilseed and grains crushers and exporters told Reuters on Monday.

Gustavo Idigoras, head of the chamber, said the 30,000 metric ton cargo of Argentine soybean meal paves the way for a sustained flow of future soybean meal exports to China.
