Ukuthengwa kweesoya eMelika kuye kwabangela umonakalo omkhulu, kodwa iindleko zisaqhubeka ziphezulu. Abathengi baseTshayina bandisa ukuthengwa kweesoya zaseBrazil.

Njengoko kulindeleke ukuba isivumelwano sorhwebo phakathi kweTshayina ne-US siqalise ukuqalisa kwakhona ukuthengiswa kwezinto ezivela eMelika ukuya kumthengisi omkhulu wesoya kwihlabathi, amaxabiso eesoya eMzantsi Melika anciphile kutshanje. Abathengisi besoya baseTshayina basandula ukukhawulezisa ukuthengwa kweesoya zaseBrazil.

Emva kwentlanganiso phakathi kweChina ne-US kwiveki ephelileyo, iChina ivumile ukwandisa urhwebo kwiimveliso zezolimo ne-US. NgoLwesithathu, iKhomishini yeRhafu yeBhunga leSizwe ibhengeze ukuba ukususela nge-10 kaNovemba, umrhumo ophezulu we-15% kwezinye iimveliso zezolimo zase-US uza kuphakanyiswa.

Nangona kunjalo, emva kokuncitshiswa kwerhafu, abathumeli beesoya baseTshayina kusafuneka bathwale irhafu ye-13%, equka irhafu yokuqala ye-3% esisiseko. Abarhwebi abathathu bathe ngoMvulo ukuba abathengi babhukishe iinqanawa ezili-10 zeesoya zaseBrazil eziza kuthunyelwa ngoDisemba, kunye nezinye iinqanawa ezili-10 eziza kuthunyelwa ukusuka ngoMatshi ukuya kuJulayi. Okwangoku, ixabiso leesoya ezivela eMzantsi Melika liphantsi kuneleesoya zase-US.

“Ixabiso leembotyi zesoya eBrazil ngoku liphantsi kunelo likwingingqi yeGulf eMelika. Abathengi bathatha eli thuba lokufaka iiodolo.” Umrhwebi ovela kwinkampani yamazwe ngamazwe esebenza kwisityalo sokucubungula imbewu yeoyile eTshayina uthe, “Imfuno yeembotyi zesoya zaseBrazil ibisoloko isanda ukusukela kwiveki ephelileyo.”

Emva kwentlanganiso phakathi kweTshayina neMelika kwiveki ephelileyo, iTshayina ivumile ukwandisa urhwebo lwayo lwezolimo neMelika. INdlu yoMhlophe kamva ikhuphe iinkcukacha zesivumelwano, isithi iTshayina iza kuthenga ubuncinane iitoni ezili-12 lezigidi zeesoya ezikhoyo kwaye iza kuthenga ubuncinane iitoni ezingama-25 ezigidi minyaka le kwiminyaka emithathu ezayo.

 I-White House kamva yakhupha iinkcukacha zesivumelwano, ebonisa ukuba iTshayina iza kuthenga ubuncinane iitoni ezili-12 lezigidi zeesoya ezikhoyo kunye neetoni ezingama-25 ezigidi ngonyaka kwiminyaka emithathu elandelayo.

I-China National Food Corporation ibiyeyokuqala ukuthenga kwisivuno seembotyi zesoya saseMelika kulo nyaka kwiveki ephelileyo, ifumene iinqanawa ezintathu zeembotyi zesoya.

Ngenxa yokubuyela kweTshayina kwimarike yaseMelika, ikamva lesoya eChicago linyuke phantse nge-1% ngoMvulo, linyuke laya kutsho kwiinyanga ezili-15.

NgoLwesithathu, iKhomishini yeRhafu yeBhunga leSizwe ibhengeze ukuba ukususela nge-10 kaNovemba, irhafu ephezulu ye-15% ebekwe kwezinye iimveliso zezolimo zaseMelika iya kuncitshiswa.

Nangona kunjalo, emva kokuncitshiswa kwerhafu, abathumeli besoya baseTshayina kusafuneka bathwale irhafu ye-13%, kuquka nerhafu yokuqala yesiseko ye-3%. I-COFCO Group yayiyeyokuqala ukuthenga kwisivuno sesoya sase-US salo nyaka kwiveki ephelileyo, ithenge iisoya ezintathu zizonke.

 Umrhwebi uthe xa kuthelekiswa nezinye iindlela zaseBrazil, oku kwenza iisoya zaseMelika zibize kakhulu kubathengi.

Ngaphambi kokuba uDonald Trump athathe izintambo ngo-2017 kwaye kuqhambuke umjikelo wokuqala wemfazwe yorhwebo phakathi kwe-Sino-US, iisoya beziyeyona nto ibalulekileyo ethunyelwa yi-United States e-China. Ngo-2016, i-China yathenga iisoya ezixabisa i-13.8 yeebhiliyoni zeedola zaseMelika e-United States.

Nangona kunjalo, kulo nyaka iTshayina iphephe kakhulu ukuthenga izityalo zesivuno sasekwindla eMelika, nto leyo ebangele ilahleko yeebhiliyoni ezininzi zeerandi kwingeniso yokuthumela kwamanye amazwe kubalimi baseMelika. Ikamva lesoya yaseChicago linyuke phantse nge-1% ngoMvulo, linyuke laya kutsho kwinqanaba eliphezulu leenyanga ezili-15, okonyuswe kukubuyela kweTshayina kwimarike yase-US.

 Idatha yerhafu ibonisa ukuba ngo-2024, malunga ne-20% yeembotyi zesoya zaseTshayina ezivela eMelika, ziphantsi kakhulu kune-41% ngo-2016.

Abanye abathathi-nxaxheba kwimarike banamathandabuzo malunga nokuba urhwebo lweembotyi zesoya lungabuyela kwisiqhelo na kwixesha elifutshane.

“Asicingi ukuba imfuno yaseTshayina iya kubuyela kwimarike yase-US ngenxa yolu tshintsho,” utshilo umrhwebi wenkampani yorhwebo lwamazwe ngamazwe. “Ixabiso leembotyi zesoya zaseBrazil liphantsi kunele-US, kwaye nabathengi abangengabo baseTshayina baqala ukuthenga iimpahla zaseBrazil.”
