China announced retaliatory tariffs of 10% on US soybeans, sorghum, pork, beef, and dairy, and 15% on wheat, corn, cotton, and chicken, effective March 10. The analysis notes that US soybeans already faced a 30.5% effective tariff and that China's response has been relatively restrained.
Added duties on US grains and oilseeds shift Chinese demand toward Brazil and other origins, weighing on US export prices and feed grain demand.
