The Chinese canned sweet corn industry is facing significant pressure following an anti-dumping investigation launched by the European Union (EU) on December 9, 2023. This investigation, targeting sweet corn kernels exported from China (customs codes: CN codes ex 2001 90 30 and ex 2005 80 00), is part of a broader pattern of EU trade protectionism aimed at Chinese exports. The move has sparked widespread concern within the industry, with stakeholders urgently mobilizing to respond.
