EU Ends Duties on US Corn, Sorghum, Rye

The European Commission decided to end European Union import duties on imports of corn, sorghum and rye from the U.S., the U.S. Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service said in a Sept. 3 report. The change occurred “only four months after re-introducing duties for the first time since March 2018,” the report said. “The re-introduction of duties in April 2020 were allegedly triggered by the decline in U.S. corn prices after the COVID-19 crisis significantly reduced the demand for U.S. bio-ethanol production.”
