1. Australian Labor Party Agriculture and Resources spokesperson Fitz Gibbon proposed that the Sino-Australian dispute may aggravate bilateral trade tensions. The entire Australian export industry is worried a
bout whether they may become the next target of China's trade strike. He warned that the trade measures taken against Australia's exports of barley, beef and wine to China may be just the "first step" in Beijing's respo
nse to tensions in bilateral diplomatic relations. The Natio
nal Farmers Federation of Australia (NFF) is co
ncerned a
bout the potential full-scale disruption of agricultural trade with China because China is an im
portant export market for Australian wool, cotton, grains, dairy products, seafood and gardening.
2. The harvest of crops in Argentina for 2019/2020 has been completed. The total planting area is a
bout 40 million hectares and the total output is a

bout 25% from the previous year to 29.5 million tons. Therefore, French co
nsulting company Agritel estimates that French wheat exports in 2020/21 will be reduced by nearly 40%. Germany is expected to fill part of France's export market-Algeria.

nal Senior Officials' Meeting that it will co
ntinue to export agricultural products undisturbed during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure a stable global supply. From March to June this year, India's agricultural exports increased by 23.24% year-on-year, reaching 2,555.3 billion rupees (a
