# Exclusive: Argentine bid to win access to China soymeal market stalled - chamber

> Argentina's bid to gain access to the Chinese soymeal market has stalled, according to an industry chamber. China's 25 percent tariff on U.S. soybean imports has effectively halted U.S. soybean shipments to China. Argentina's soymeal industry was already weakened by a drought on the Pampas that reduced domestic soybean supplies this year.

## Why it matters

Stalled Argentine access to China keeps Chinese soymeal demand tied to tariff-disrupted flows, supporting soybean meal prices while Argentine crushers struggle with short supply.
