The European Commission has launched an anti-dumping investigation into the surge in imports of canned sweetcorn from China, following a complaint from the European Sweetcorn Processors Association (AETMD). The association claims that the influx of Chinese imports, which have surged since 2021, are disrupting fair competition. The EC will now assess the situation and potentially implement provisional anti-dumping duties on these imports. The investigation is expected to conclude in February 2026, with the possibility of extending existing anti-dumping duties on Thai canned sweetcorn, in effect since 2007.
