> Grain Central reports that damage at Argentina's Terminal 6 on the Parana River, caused by the Ocean Treasure collision on April 24, may tighten soymeal supply to China near term. The article says this could spark export buying of Australian cottonseed. Australian cottonseed demand has so far been limited to domestic uses.
