Abstract

This chapter explores China’s dependence on food imports, focussing on fodder grain imports before and after the onset of the Sino-US economic conflict. Following the announcement by the United States of tariffs on Chinese imports, China retaliated by imposing a significant 179% tariff on the American sorghum. Additional levies were also applied to dried distillers’ grains with solubles, fish-bone power and fish meals. While considerable attention was given to the impact on American farmers, China’s livestock industry faced serious repercussions due to its substantial reliance on fodder-based agricultural imports from the United States. To this day, the United States remains the most crucial fodder exporter to China. In an effort to lessen China’s reliance on the United States, China is expected to adjust its fodder commodity imports, balancing between protein varieties and energy forage crops.
