US wheat group stands firm on Turkish flour issue

Washington-based export market development organization US Wheat Associates (USW) stood pat on its statement saying that Turkish government policies encourage flour dumping in the Philippines, a justification for the imposition of an anti-dumping duty against Turkish flour.

“The Turkish government employs a complex, inward processing scheme that creates disruptive incentives to its milling industry to export flour regardless of price,” Joseph Sowers, USW assistant regional director for South Asia, said in statement relayed through the Philippine Association of Flour Millers (Pafmil).
