Could you please clarify for me what predatory dumping is? I understand it has something to do with selling products at a price that is below the
market value, but I'm not entirely sure how it differs from regular price competition. Can you explain the concept in more detail, including its potential consequences and how it relates to the broader economic landscape? Additionally, are there any specific industries or regions where predatory dumping is more common?

The primary objective of predatory dumping is to create an unfair advantage over domestic competitors and ultimately dominate the market.

By selling at a loss, these companies aim to disrupt the local market and force domestic firms to either exit or accept unfavorable terms.

Once the domestic competition is eliminated, the foreign company can then increase prices and enjoy monopoly profits.
