Commission acts against imports of pea protein from China
The definitive anti-dumping duties imposed range from 40.5% to 67.1% and will be in place for five years. Provisional duties had been in force since 29 April 2026.
The imposition of the definitive duties follows an investigation which found that imports of pea protein from China were entering the EU at dumped prices. This is causing injury to the EU's own industry. The EU market for pea protein is worth some €175m.
Pea protein is used as an alternative to animal protein - both for human consumption and for animal feed. It can be consumed directly or serve as an ingredient for making food and drink for humans. It is also used in pet food, specialised animal feed, and aquafeed.
