# France, Argentina seek barley buyers beyond China

> France and Argentina are seeking barley buyers beyond China as prospects grow that Australian barley shipments to China could resume from July if negotiations progress. China bought large volumes of French barley in February and March, nearly clearing old-crop supplies. Chinese traders expect Australian shipments to resume in earnest in October-November.
