BUENOS AIRES, July 7 (Reuters) - Grains merchant Bunge

has chartered 30,000 metric tons of Argentine soybean meal cargo

destined for China, data seen by Reuters on Monday showed,

marking the first soymeal cargo from Argentina since Beijing

approved Argentine imports in 2019.

Reuters reported last month that several Chinese animal feed

makers had jointly signed the deal for the shipment as China's

animal feed industry looks to broaden its supply options to

mitigate potential disruptions from the U.S.-China trade war.
