Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM) today praised the
International Trade Commission after it voted to advance an
investigation into biodiesel exports from Argentina and Indonesia.
“As one of the petitioners on this important industry initiative, we are
pleased to see that the ITC has taken the first step toward imposing
countervailing and antidumping duties on biodiesel imported from
Argentina and Indonesia,” said Ray Bradbury, president of risk
management for ADM’s Corn Processing business and president, North
America biodiesel. “The facts clearly show that Argentina and Indonesia
are engaging in unfair trade practices, and we are confident that duties
will be imposed when the final decision is made.
“This process exists to prevent export practices that injure workers in
the importing countries—in this case, the United States. American
farmers, American workers and American biodiesel can and should have a
free and fair playing field."
