China lifts suspension on five Brazilian soy exporters ahead of Lula visit
BEIJING (Reuters) -China, the world's largest soybean buyer, has lifted restrictions for Brazilian soybean shipments from five firms previously suspended over phytosanitary concerns, the Brazilian government confirmed on Thursday. Earlier, Reuters reported, citing a source familiar with the matter and Chinese customs data, that China had resumed imports from the firms. "The decision was made after technical understandings between the health authorities of Brazil and China," Brazil's Agriculture Ministry said in a statement.
