Must read: Some major crap going on with US exports to China

[link to godlike.com (secure)]

Commodities are sold at market prices since there is no competitive advantage to beans from Mexico or beans from Wisconsin. Beans is beans. It is the nature of commodites. If big farmers exit the market, small farms cannot compete imports from other countries. Either way, the prices go up either through tariff or limitation on local production.

I’m sorry but I smell just a bit of BS on this one.

1st importation and exportation is almost entirely handled through a middle man. Or at minimum a gov agency based on what the goods are. In fact only Fortune 500 companies and up for the most part handle there own export import of material. So much legal red tape to go through. Typically all this red tape can be handled by a licensed importer exporter company.

You all know that farmers don’t sell direct to China right? Unless your the Fortune 500 owned farm.

Most sell to co-ops
Most sell to purchasing firms
Most sell to gov groups
Most sell to the market (example : agricultural commodities company)

Also almost all farmers do sell in the futures market. Sold product before grown. It’s called farm gambling.

So if China purchased futures and didn’t take ownership then you have a problem.

If China isn’t paying for the product then it’s sitting in containers. But guess what someone got payed. Farmer most likely still got payed but the middle man got shafted.

Next time around the farmer won’t get payed cause the middle man isn’t buying

There is almost no direct sell to anyone in China at all. In fact most exportation from US to China are done through import and export companies separate of the the actual companies selling and purchasing.

Well unless they can’t feed their people and holding all those petro dollars is not a good move right now, trust me.

Look,the smartest kid in the USA

I completely agree with this.

Finally someone who knows the commodities market. Farmers are fine they got paid in April for the attempt. What happens after it hits the silo is someone else’s business

Already has been tried by a different group and found not effective. It’s called bottle necking......you never do this. It would be a shooting gallery

Umm they would be empty when it’s off loaded in China regardless if it was filled when it left the US. What an idiot.

What a stupid comment...you have no idea do you...not a fucking clue...

prices are up asshat...with food shortages everywhere right now...other countrys are more than happy to buy from our farmers...

shut the fuck up when you dont know what your talking about.

Oh the second time around sucks for sure.....but let’s say corn.......corn to China is no big deal. Corn is used in fucking everything.....it’s the small time operations that will get hurt...

They are literally committing genocide in Tibet and Western China.

You are a NAZI piece of garbage.

This has nothing to do with Trumps Tariffs,,, Agriculture is shipped on container ships using unique containers for AG and the ones used to ship products in,
the TEUs are in short supply in China and are needed to ship goods.

The same container is used over and over but has to be returned in order to reuse...

Biden in exports to China gonna soar! We send them food and wood they send us finished goods! Just like the old East India company!

They have a choice. And they’ve chosen.

So you would rather feed our enemy and think its ok for farmers to sell food to our enemy.....interesting.

Wrongo.
China is willing to pay the shippers more for the empties to be delivered to them than the farmers are willing to pay to ship their full containers of food to china.

Its not china making all the calls. If the shippers were paid more by the farmers to ship then the food would be shipped.

Looks to me like china has a lot of crap to get rid of before the sell by date.

We don't want to spend those just yet. It's safe in a bank vault... called the EARTH.

One of this hardest hits was the slowing of purchases of Chinese goods by Americans. Ebay, Amazon, AliBaba ALL took a cut in sales in some cases by up to 80%.

Malthusian mistake to extrapolate present with no change to sensationalize doomy claims that "needs" instant (rash)
And gargantuan heinous decision, AKA plans and actions without morals, especially without the golden rule.

1. Resources are abundant everywhere, God is gracious and good to us.

2. Industrial infrastructures, production, and capacities, are all fluid, adjustable, not static.

3. Markets are where people exist, people paid well have more to spend in the markets.

No prodigious genius that makes wealth from causing enslavement and poverty. Those old ordered few in pyramids on the backs of those living inside chalk and paper walls paid with pyramid paper is over. 1. The workforce to get a resource to production, and produce it, if poor, they can little afford to purchase.

THIS is thenmost ignorant statement I have read on GLP in some time, and boy is that saying something

You need to lay off the CNN son, seriously

Do you wear 3 masks as well?

It’s your fault bot

china bought 30% of mynamars rice supply

we did not send food

NA continent is the biggest food producer in the world

look at the orders being passed

look at world events

follow the money

have you figured it out yet?

For starters. A lot of your every day items that say made in the USA are in fact only assembled in the USA. Wait until you have to start playing 6 degrees of separation with every end-user product you touch.

You got that correct, Jinping Xi.

BTW, how's the weather in Beijing?

Not sure how accurate that is, but it would nice if it is.

I know that the burghers of Beijing stopped allowing the import of Australian wine and coal to China as punishment for Canberra (Australia's Washington DC) criticizing the ultra-liberals of PCC China for the existence of SARS-CoV-2.

Jinping Xi and his crowd were willing to cause brownouts and blackouts in certain Chinese cities in order to send a message to Australia.

Now that China Joe is in the White House, the world will become even more beautiful and more wonderful.

Screw China.

And screw our farmers!

Stop letting the food get brokered!
Keep the food here!
We have hungry people!
Lower the prices!
A nice Roast surrounded with fresh fruits and healthy vegetables on every table EVERYDAY!

Don't care! It's all Gropin' Joe Biden's fault, now!
