Brasília – The outcome of the US Department of Commerce's anti-dumping case against Brazilian concentrated orange juice exports is not expected to affect domestic production, says the president of the Association of Orange Exporters (Associação Brasileira dos Exportadores de Cítricos) (Abecitrus), Ademerval Garcia, who explains that most of the sector exports go to Europe. Garcia reports that the sector employs some 400,000 workers.

According to Garcia, the Brazilian government has been following the case and will go into action if World Trade Organization norms are infringed. "If that happens, the government will make a complaint at the WTO and we in the orange export sector will fully support the measure," declared Garcia.
