China blocks Argentine corn exports
Chinese authorities quarantined two containers holding corn from Argentina, after detecting genetically modified strains that had not been approved beforehand, alleged the chinese buyer.
China imported 4.56 million tons of corn in first 10 months of 2012, with 99 percent coming from the US, the largest corn exporter in the world. An unidentified Chinese government official said they had bought the small volume as a test, and as of yet imports coming from Argentina have not been successful.
