In January Liu He, China's deputy prime minister, said China would buy 5m tonnes of soyabeans after meeting Mr Trump.

Even so, the pace of Chinese purchases is a fraction of what it would ordinarily be around this time of year.

If the tariffs are lifted, some Chinese demand will recover.

The billions of dollars' worth of infrastructure that facilitates American sales to China is still in place. And China could turn back to America for other reasons.

To cope with the loss of American exports of soyabeans, for instance, it has lowered the minimum protein content in pig feed. But that risks hogs' health and can stunt their growth.

Furthermore, Chinese pig farms have been hit by a nasty bout of African swine fever, forcing farmers to cull 5-15% of their hogs, according to Michael Magdovitz of Rabobank, a firm that specialises in financing agriculture. But this should prove temporary.
