The Mexican Ministry of Economy announced today the final decision regarding the anti-dumping case on leg quarters imported to Mexico from the United States

Regarding the investigation about unfair practices in the form of price discrimination of chicken leg quarters imported to Mexico from the United States filed in June 2010 by the following companies: Producto Agropecuarios de Tehuacan, S.A. de C.V., Buenaventura Grupo Pecuario, S.A. de C.V. and Bachoco, S.A. de C.V., the Ministry of Economy announced their final resolution on the case, through the Mexican Official Gazette of the Federation, which established these main points:
Bachoco and the other companies involved in this process, do not agree with the recommendation not to apply antidumping duties temporarily, since no justification is found not to do so, as:
The Company, as well as all other applicants, recognize the work done by the Ministry of Economy and the UPCI "Unit of International Trade Practices" in defending the rights of the Mexican poultry industry and ensuring equitable conditions throughout this long investigation and have spoken out to continue their efforts to stop the unfair competition and have true integration between the two markets, relying on the final application of anti-dumping duties, which allows the Mexican poultry industry to continue to create thousands of jobs, and benefits consumers by delivering high quality products at a fair price.
