How do Australian farmers live amid trade tensions between China and Australia?

Under the tense relationship between China and Australia, those Australian farmers who grow barley are completely caught in a situation where their income is greatly reduced, because now they can only export this barley to Saudi Arabia, Vietnam and other countries The problem is that they need this barley not to make wine, but to feed sheep and camels directly, so in terms of bidding, it is far lower than China will reduce the expenditure of 50 Australian dollars per ton, then it is equivalent to a large reduction in the income of Australian farmers.

Recently, China and Australia have become very nervous, and it is the ordinary farmers who have sufferedThe reason for the tension between Australia and China this time is because of the new coronavirus, I will not explain much here, why this war between the two will win the income of Australian farmers, then their income may be reduced between one or two billion Australian dollars.

The Australian Wine Association said through rough estimates that after 1958, Australia has never been so dependent on a country and a market, and this time Australia in the dependence on the Chinese market, completely gave a resounding slap in the face, in the last year China imported a total of 1.2 billion Australian dollars worth of wine, and China also imported 5 kinds of Australian agricultural products, the product value of more than 1 billion Australian dollars, including these products related to mutton, beef, barley wine and so on. It can be seen that Australia is indeed a little dependent on the Chinese market, because it accounts for a large part of their exports, and China's exports account for more than 30% of all agricultural exports.

Relations between China and Australia have been strained since the Prime Minister called for an investigation into the origins of the coronavirus, and a few weeks later, China suspended imports of products from four Australian slaughterhousesSo it directly makes the products produced by these slaughterhouses unable to sell well, and even many products are piled up, especially in the agricultural product of barley, after they have no buyer in China, they can only sell the products to Vietnam, Saudi Arabia and other regions The problem is that they do not use these barley to make wine, but feed camels for different purposes, which directly affects the sale, so that farmers have to sell it at a profit of 52 yuan per ton. After all, it is better to reduce the income of 52 yuan per ton than not getting a single dollar and letting these agricultural products rot in their own hands.

Under the tensions between China and Australia, Australian barley farmers' incomes will fall significantly, and emerging markets such as Vietnam and Indonesia will fill this gap to some extent. But unfortunately, they prefer to feed sheep and camels with barley, so their bids are low.

Under the tension between China and Australia, Australian farmers are completely trapped in a situation where their incomes have been greatly reduced, because now they can only export barley to Saudi Arabia, Vietnam and other countries.
