BEIJING — Ensuring grain and other food
supplies for China’s booming economy are expected to dominate Chinese Premier
Wen Jiabao’s trip to four South American countries.
A Foreign Ministry official said Monday that
Wen will visit Brazil from Wednesday to Friday to attend the U.N. summit on
sustainable development in Rio de Janeiro.
Next will come visits to Uruguay, Argentina,
and Chile. Wen will sign a series of agreements in each country, but no details
were given.
Rising living standards have made China a
major player in global agricultural markets.
Soybean exports to China have helped underpin
the Argentine economy’s recovery after a world-record debt default and
devaluation in 2002 left its economy in ruins.
