Wheat Sales to China Reported by Agriculture Dept
The Agriculture Department said export documents show about 15 million bushels of U.S. wheat designated for China under a special export program. The department noted sales may involve third parties for re export and subsidies to exporters to boost competitiveness. Officials linked the China sale timing to congressional scrutiny of the Soviet wheat deal and pending farm-policy inquiries. Kansas City trade officials commented on price effects, noting market reactions varied with the announcement and potential sale.
