U.S.-China trade deal could hit Brazil soy exports - Brazil farm official

[January 08, 2020]  BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazil could lose some gains it made in the global soy market during the US-China trade war in the event that the two countries close a deal ending the dispute, a Brazilian Agriculture Ministry official said on Wednesday.

Brazil's deputy secretary for agriculture policy Wilson Vaz Araujo told reporters that the South American country could react by shifting exports to other countries in the event of a U.S.-China deal.
