Is that a final warning I smell?

The finalest, I'm sure

I don't expect China to do anything.

Agreed that that's the most likely outcome (publically anyway), but there's definitely a chance that China gets pissed enough over it to at least change their posturing.

If nothing else, it's just another straw added the camel's back. They keep this stuff up and it will eventually break.

60,000 T is a big number but what % of annual exports is that? China’s response will be proportianl to that fact.

Ukraine’s grain exports reached a record 46 million tonnes in the first nine months of the 2019/20 season versus 37.6 million shipped in the same period a season earlier, the Ministry for Development of Economy, Trade and Agriculture said on Thursday.

That’s total. I was asking about China.

53.19 million metric tons of wheat and cereal grains in 2022, 20.62 of corn in 2022

0.08% of total, 0.11% if you exclude corn. Unsure if they're including corn when they say 60,000T of grain was destroyed.
