Tomato Prices Projected to Increase at Long Island Restaurants and Stores Following End of U.S.-Mexico Trade Deal
UNITED STATES, JUL 22 – The Trump Administration ended a 30-year agreement to protect U.S. growers and imposed a 17% tariff on Mexican tomatoes, which supply nearly 70% of the U.S. market, officials said.
- On July 14, the U.S. Commerce Department imposed a 17.09% duty on Mexican tomatoes, ending a nearly 30-year trade agreement, the department said in a July 14 press release.
- Alleging unfair pricing, the tariff follows claims of dumping and comes after five suspension agreements .
- Lance Jungmeyer noted 'some distributors could get tomatoes from other countries, but they will unlikely match the volume coming from Mexico,' while others point to sunk investments in Mexican infrastructure.
- Growers and retailers, in a Monday statement, report stronger demand for U.S.-grown tomatoes, while Robert Guenther said the tariff protects American growers.
- Across communities, the tariff is generating benefits for families, small businesses and even boosting seasonal profits for tomato farmers in colder regions.
