KUALA LUMPUR: Beijing’s anti-dumping move last week on U.S. sorghum imports could open an opportunity for Malaysia to sell palm kernel cake to China as an alternative animal feed, Malaysia’s Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) said.
Deputy secretary general of trade Isham Ishak said the palm kernel cake, a byproduct of the palm industry could replace sorghum, a niche animal feed grain.
Several ships carrying sorghum from the United States to China changed course after the world’s second-largest economy slapped anti-dumping deposits on imports of the U.S. grain, Reuters reported last Friday.
