A fairly adjudicated finding of dumping injury related to imported bone in chicken is not feasible

I refer to the detailed and fascinating letter “Getting to bottom of chicken wars” by David Wolpert.

SA has had anti-dumping, safeguard, and basic tariff increase applications, resulting in higher costs of imported poultry followed by increases to local poultry prices shortly thereafter, totally contradicting previous assurances that this would not happen. One application was referred to the World Trade Organization and SA withdrew in failure, but all others have had a measure of success as far as I am aware.

Imported bone in chicken cuts may provide local consumers the price benefits of dumping as asserted, which hardly seems a problem to anybody but local poultry. However, in order for a dumping investigation to be launched, the complainants must prove material injury suffered. This is simply not possible in the case of individually quick frozen poultry, a totally distinct product, with a 65%-70% share of local sales.
