China’s Ministry of Commerce released a preliminary ruling finding that pecans from the United States and Mexico were dumped in the Chinese market, resulting in provisional cash deposit requirements of 54.3 percent on U.S. producers and 51.6 percent on most Mexican shipments. The ruling cites a 104.56 percent cumulative rise in import volume, a 9.69 percentage point increase in market share, and a 9.15 percent cumulative decline in import prices during the investigation period. All reported figures originate from a single South China Morning Post article and remain unverified by additional outlets.
