AgForce welcomes news that China will lift anti-dumping and anti-subsidy tariffs on Australian barley.
Scrapping these tariffs is welcome relief for some 23,000 Australian grain producers who have been impacted by the tariffs imposed in 2020.
These tariffs significantly impacted the barley trade between Australia and China which previously accounted for approximately 60 to 70 per cent of barley exports.
The Australian farming sector was always of the view there was no justification for these duties and that it was in both countries’ best interests for all trade impediments to be removed.
This development is in the long-term interests of Australia and China and highlights the positive effect of meaningful collaboration.
