The China Canned Food Industry Association held an emergency meeting in Zhangzhou, Fujian, in response to the European Commission's initiation of an anti-dumping investigation into Chinese canned sweet corn exported under tariff numbers 20058000 and 20019030. The meeting, led by Chairman Liu Youqian and attended by representatives from 18 companies, emphasized the urgent need for the industry to prepare for potential negative impacts and to assist member companies in responding to the investigation. A special working group will be established by the Zhangzhou Canned Food Chamber of Commerce to oversee the situation and support affected companies. The investigation, which targets Chinese exports, underscores growing trade protectionism concerns, with a deadline for response materials set for December 15.
