Can Biden change that?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Biden\u2019s election created an expectation of a return to normality in the United States&#8217; relationship with the rest of the world. The President&#8217;s campaign and his initial speeches have showed<b data-stringify-type=\"bold\">&nbsp;<\/b>that rhetoric against international bodies, exaggerated nationalism and scientific denialism&nbsp;must be left behind.<\/p>\n<p>But the friction between relations with China, stoked by the Trump government, and many of its consequences \u2014 most visibly, the trade war \u2014 will not go away so easily.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts do not expect the soybean market in South America to shrink in the near future as the United States muscles back in, though many fear this outcome. According to market sources consulted by Dialogo Chino, Biden represents continuity over change in this area.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In general I see Biden following the same route as Trump. I don\u2019t see a major change happening for this kind of agricultural markets and commodity exports,&#8221; says Wilhelm Uffelmann, a partner and global leader of food and agribusiness practice at Roland Berger.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1968, the amount of land dedicated to soy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unicentroagronomia.com\/imagens\/noticias\/artigo_4_ingles.pdf\">crops<\/a> has increased faster than seen with any other major crop globally. According to data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), 122 million hectares are destined for cultivation all over the planet. After Brazil, the United States is the second largest producer of soybeans on the planet. The commodity&#8217;s main destination is China.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dialogo Chino talked with market analysts and representatives of the retail sector to understand what we can expect now Joe Biden has been inaugurated as president.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Eyes on South American soybeans<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every year, the number of inhabitants in the world grows by the equivalent of Germany\u2019s population \u2014 approximately 81 million people \u2014 and meat consumption by 1.4%.

Local political issues make it very difficult to invest in Africa,&#8221; says Bartolomeu Braz Pereira, president of the Brazilian Association of Soy Producers (Aprosoja).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Continuity of trade dispute<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was Donald Trump who instigated the trade war with China, imposing tariff barriers that damaged the export of commodities from local producers. In 2016, the last year of the Barack Obama administration, U.S. soy exports to China reached a record $14.2 billion. Two years later, at the peak of Trump&#8217;s dispute, the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fas.usda.gov\/soybeans-2019-export-highlights\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">negotiated value<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plummeted to $3.1 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One consequence of this conflict was the sharp increase in Chinese imports of soy from South America, especially Brazil, who in 2018, increased soy exports by 35% compared to the previous year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the differences between Biden and Trump, it is uncertain whether the new president will ease the tariff war between the two countries during his term. In an<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/12\/02\/opinion\/biden-interview-mcconnell-china-iran.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">interview with<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the New York Times, Biden said he would not make immediate moves to lift trade tariffs before assessing the first phase of the agreement to ease trade tensions.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='cdo-shortcode--image'><\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_39621\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39621\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-39621 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trade-war-between-united-states-and-china-uncertain-future-biden-xi-jinping-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Xi Jinping and Joe Biden \" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39621\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It is not yet known which direction Joe Biden intends to take in the trade war between China and the United States.

The [first] phase of the agreement has already brought a certain normality to the market,&#8221; he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brazil has not failed to expand production under Obama&#8217;s administration, of whom Biden was vice president, and should not fail to do so under Biden<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the Chinese side, even if there is a resumption of the purchase of US soy, the tendency is for China to diversify its suppliers with domestic investments and in African countries. But there are still advantages in the South American market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">China has been phasing out it&#8217;s North American oilseed suppliers, preferring instead to buy South American soy which has a higher concentration of protein&#8221; and makes it more attractive for animal feed, explains Jo\u00e3o Fernandes Silva, an analyst and price reporter at PRIMA-Markets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Environmental issue<\/h2>\n<p>Although the achievements of Brazilian agribusiness are solid, the environmental issue may become a thorn in the side of the Biden government. In the September 29 debate, Biden accused Donald Trump of not acting to preserve the Brazilian Amazon, saying that if he were president he would seek resources to protect the Amazon, and if Brazil did not act against deforestation, it<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sustainablecarbon.com\/en\/blog\/em-debate-biden-diz-que-destinara-us-20-bilhoes-para-brasil-combater-incendios-na-amazonia\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">could suffer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8220;significant economic consequences\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditionally, soy is planted in pastures in southern and central-western Brazil, especially in the Cerrado. It is estimated that this biome has already lost 50% of its original coverage. But soybean cultivation is expanding to other biomes, including the Legal Amazon, and there are already questions about the continuation of the Soy Moratorium, which has blocked the commercialisation of grains produced in areas deforested since 2006.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Environmental pressure comes more from Europe than from the US or China<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Paraguay, soybeans are primarily planted on Atlantic Forest land, but a moratorium has slowed planting in the biome and pushed new areas of soybeans and pastures toward the Gran Chaco, another endangered biome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It is not yet clear whether Biden will act to preserve the environment in Latin American countries, action that would be detrimental to the economic interests of the United States. &#8220;Brazil has not failed to expand production under Obama&#8217;s administration, of whom Biden was vice president, and should not fail to do so under Biden,&#8221; points out Siqueira of AgRural.<div class='cdo-shortcode--image'><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39628\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39628\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-39628 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/soybean-plantation-advances-in-the-amazon-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"deforested area for soybean planting\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1499\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39628\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Soybean planting advances in the Amazon.
