Grains Council, Renewable Fuels Association Disappointed in China DDGs Determination

The U.S. Grains Council and the Renewable Fuels Association expressed disappointment Wednesday with China’s preliminary determination regarding U.S. dried distiller’s grains. The Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China claims DDGs are being unfairly subsidized by U.S. government entities and have caused injury to China’s DDGs industry. The groups say the announcement was not a surprise, but state that “U.S. DDGs have not caused any injury to China.” They add that DDGs play an important role in protecting Chinese feed producers and households against unpredictable swings in global commodity prices.

The groups say that “we will continue cooperating fully with these investigations” and hope China “will find in its final determination that continued access for U.S. DDGs is in China’s interest.”
