China has terminated anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations into imported sorghum from the United States, as domestic farmers have had difficulties selling pork products due to lower prices, the Ministry of Commerce announced on Friday. Under such circumstances, it is not in the public interest to level a trade investigation on sorghum imports from the US, which can be used to formulate animal feed. To protect domestic industry from dumping activities, China began to impose provisional anti-dumping measures on sorghum imported from the US from April 18. He said sorghum became a hot crop in China after the country banned corn imports from the US in 2013; corn imports resumed in 2014. More than 80 percent of all US sorghum exports go to China, according to the US Grains Council.
