EU decided on Sept. 4 to launch an anti-dumping investigation against Chinese citric acid and announce its ruling in nine months.

China is the world?s largest citric acid producing country with a total capacity of 500,000 MT a year. Its capacity grows at a pace of 3~5% a year. Fenyuan Biochemical Corp. is the nation?s top citric acid producer with an annual capacity of 220,000 MT. The bulk of its product is exported to the USA and EU. Luxin High Tech is another major citric acid supplier to Europe. Both have decided to respond to EU?s investigation.
