US foodstuffs to return to Chinese market

Chinese companies are expected to buy more agricultural products from the United States after millions of tons of US soybeans have been shipped out to China, according to State media.

The soybean shipment would be the first major purchase of US agricultural products by Chinese enterprises after a June meeting of the two heads of state in Osaka, Japan, Xinhua News Agency reported on Sunday.

In the next step, relevant Chinese enterprises will continue to make price inquiries into the purchase of US soybeans, cotton, pork, sorghum, wheat, corn, dairy products and other foodstuffs to meet the needs of the domestic market, the report said.
