> CJ CheilJedang reported third-quarter operating profit of 108.5 billion won in its core materials business, up 36% year on year, on revenue of 1.423 trillion won. The gain was driven by anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Chinese lysine in the US, which cut Chinese import volumes sharply, and by local production in several countries.
