Exclusive Brazilian soy shipments to China by five companies suspended for phytosanitary reasons, sources say

BEIJING (Reuters) – China, the world’s biggest buyer of soybeans, has stopped receiving Brazilian soybean shipments from five entities after the shipments failed to meet phytosanitary requirements, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.

Brazil, the world’s top oilseed exporter, has suspended shipments to China from Terra Roxa Comercio de Cereais, Olam Brasil and C.Vale Cooperativa Agroindustrial from January 8, one of the sources said.

On January 14, Chinese customs suspended shipments from Cargill Agricola SA and ADM Do Brasil, the source said.

There were concerns after some cargoes were found with chemical contamination, pests or insects, sources said.

The parent companies of the entities involved did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
