Trade Minister Senator Don Farrell expects China’s trade barriers against Australia to be dropped soon following the removal of Beijing’s 80.5 percent tariff on Australian barley.

Speaking at Western Australia’s Kwinana Grain Terminal on Aug. 29, Senator Farrell said it was wonderful to see the return of barley exports.
