Ruveon to Withdraw Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Petitions

July 17, 2026 | Aaron Putze, APR

Ankeny, Iowa - Iowa and U.S. soybean farmers welcomed Ruveon's decision announced today to withdraw its requests for U.S. trade penalties on glyphosate imports from China.

The petitions had sought antidumping and countervailing duties, but the American Soybean Association (ASA) and other agricultural groups argued that the tariffs could increase costs and reduce farmers' access to an important crop protection product.

"We appreciate Ruveon's decision to withdraw the antidumping and countervailing duty petitions after listening to the concerns about affordability and access raised by ASA, soybean farmers, and other agricultural organizations," said Scott Metzger, ASA President and soybean farmer from Ohio.

ASA provided extensive feedback to Ruveon following the filing of the petitions. Metzger said Ruveon's decision reflects the value they place on farmer customers who rely on access to affordable crop protection tools to remain productive and globally competitive.

"We appreciate Ruveon's willingness to engage with growers and respond to their concerns, and ASA looks forward to continuing this important dialogue," Metzger said.

Ruveon, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bayer, had filed the petitions with Monsanto Company on June 30, 2026. Ruveon produces about 60% of the glyphosate sold in the United States.
