BEIJING, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- China said it would temporarily not rule out the possibility of levying additional tariffs on imported U.S. farm produce with deals made after Aug. 3, and related Chinese companies have halted purchases of U.S. farm produce, according to the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce Monday.

The move came after the U.S. plan to impose additional 10-percent tariffs on 300 billion U.S. dollars worth of Chinese imports, which seriously violated the consensus reached by the two heads of state in Osaka.

With a huge market, China is a promising destination for high-quality U.S. agricultural products, official sources said, hoping that the U.S. should earnestly implement the consensus reached in Osaka and be committed to fulfilling its promises to create necessary conditions for bilateral agricultural cooperation.

Beijing’s new measures are in addition to the 25 per cent tariffs on soyabeans and many other US agricultural goods it imposed in July last year. Since those tariffs were implemented, US soyabean prices, which were trading at around $10 a bushel in early 2018, have fallen 15 per cent to $8.50.

China’s announcement “is a body blow to thousands of farmers and ranchers who are already struggling to get by,” said Zippy Duvall, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation.
