人民财讯9月25日电，今日(9月25日)商务部例行记者发布会，商务部新闻发言人何亚东表示，中美省州 经贸合作是中美经贸关系不可或缺的组成部分，也是双方加强经贸往来的重要平台和渠道。关于大豆贸 易，美方应采取积极行动，取消相关不合理关税，为扩大双边贸易创造条件，也为全球经济发展注入更 多稳定性、确定性。此外，中美经贸关系的本质是互利共赢，中美两国在经贸领域拥有广泛共同利益和 广阔合作空间。当前影响中美正常经贸合作的最大障碍在于美单边限制措施，希望美方与中方相向而 行，为中美经贸关系稳定、健康、可持续发展创造有利条件。 ...

中国市场的反应也极为迅速。据报道，就在9月22日阿根廷宣布暂时取消包括大豆在内的谷物出口税 后，中国买家迅速出手订购了至少10船阿根廷大豆，预计这些大豆将于11月装船。 阿根廷通常对大豆征收26%的出口税，但是为了紧急筹集70亿美元外汇，阿根廷政府不惜豪赌"零税卖 粮"政策。事实证明，这一临时降税举措在短时确实提升了其大豆的竞争力，并且还促使了中国的采 购。 在贸易战期间，中国一直在大量采购阿根廷的大豆原料，2024/25年度阿根廷出口量创下六年来的新 高。而现在，由于临时减税政策，进一步鼓励了中国进口阿根廷大豆。 据相关媒体报道，在阿根廷取消谷物出口税后，中国买家至少订购了10船阿根廷大豆，这对已经无法进 入其主要市场并受到低价冲击的美国农民来说，无疑是又一次打击。 贸易商和分析师表示，这些交易对美国农民来说无疑是一次新的冲击。往年中国第四季度的库存采购通 常以美国大豆为主，但由于悬而未决的贸易谈判冻结了出口，中国到目前为止尚未购买任何美国秋收大 豆。 过去这个时候，中国一般要从美国购买1200万至1300万吨大豆，并于9月至11月装运。现在阿根廷与巴 西双面夹击，意味着美国农民的销售季几乎要与中国"无缘" ...
