Indonesia lifted its ban on imports of corn and soybeans from China at the beginning of April, Dow Jones reported. The ban had been imposed in March in response to a case of foot-and-mouth disease in Hong Kong in February, and the Indonesian government said that shipments that left China in March would not be allowed to land in Indonesia.
Indonesia is the third largest importer of Chinese corn, after South Korea and Malaysia. It imported 1.3m tonnes in 2002, 11 per cent of China's total exports.
