Speciality chemicals company Evonik has stated that it sees a clear confirmation of reliability and security of methionine supply to the protein industry in China
Following the decision by The Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China (MOFCOM) that it is closing its anti-dumping investigation against imports of methionine originating in Singapore, Malaysia and Japan, the company has restated its commitment to the region.
MOFCOM has decided to close the investigation and will therefore not implement tariffs on this type of import. Evonik has welcomed the decision of MOFCOM, and the strong Chinese team will continue to serve the Chinese market with a range of quality products and services.
Dr Emmanuel Auer, head of animal nutrition business line at Evonik, said, “We have worked closely with the Chinese authorities while they conducted their investigations. We have been completely transparent with respect to the requested data and information.
“Most importantly, our customers will continue to benefit from supply reliability and security for an essential feed ingredient for a sustainable and affordable protein supply chain. We remain fully committed to our customers in China and across the world.”
