The Interdepartmental Commission on International Trade (ICMT) in Ukraine has initiated an anti-dumping investigation into imports of starch from Belarus, following a complaint from the Association of Potato and Starch Producers of Ukraine. The investigation covers the period 2017-2019, during which the share of Belarusian imports in the Ukrainian market significantly increased. The Commission found that these imports were priced lower than local production costs, and ranging from 25.1% to 84.6% of Ukraine's total starch consumption. In the second half of 2020, Ukraine imported 285.8 tons of starch from Belarus, which accounted for 35.3% of total imports.
