China to adopt anti-dumping measure on pea starch from Canada; To collect up to 73.5% deposit - press
**Insight: Move to collect anti-dumping deposits of up to 73.5% on Canadian pea starch is fresh escalation in the Canada-China trade dispute, but it follows an investigation China opened in August 2025 into Canadian pea starch imports. - - Beijing had framed the probe as a response to alleged dumping and as distinct from Canada’s trade actions against Chinese goods; Canada previously imposed duties on Chinese pea protein after complaints from Nutri-Pea and Roquette Canada. The deposit is broadly in line with the direction of recent expectations—more trade barriers were likely after the probe - but the high rate is negative for Canadian pulse processors/exporters and potentially supportive for Chinese domestic starch producers
