China's tariffs have resulted in a $270 million drop in exports of barley, wine, and seafood from Australia in January, as compared to the same month the previous year. However, exports of wool and dairy remain strong. Saudi Arabia and Thailand have compensated for the decrease in barley exports to China. Despite the COVID pandemic's impact on China's foodservice sector, Chinese retail food sales have seen an 11% increase in the first two months of 2021.
