While many U.S. farmers are suffering through the trade war because they relied heavily on imports to China, U.S. garlic growers are profiting by lucy_nicholson Richa_Writes
GILROY, California - Unlike millions of other U.S. farmers, garlic growers are profiting from the trade war with China and have cheered President Donald Trump’s latest economic attack accordingly.
“In a perfect world, we’d love to see the tariffs stay on forever,” said Ken Christopher, executive vice president of family owned Christopher Ranch, the largest of three remaining commercial garlic producers in the United States. While soybean farmers in the U.S. Midwest watched silos fill with unsold crops as top buyer China all but stopped purchases, Christopher Ranch saw domestic garlic sales rise 15 percent in the last quarter of 2018 after the U.S. applied a 10 percent tariff on imports of Chinese garlic in September.
In lobbying for tariffs, Christopher follows in the footsteps of his father, who fought to implement an anti-dumping duty of up to 400 percent on Chinese garlic in the 1990s. McCormick says its recipes mostly rely on Chinese garlic, calling it a different product from what is grown in the United States.
The new profits U.S. garlic farmers have enjoyed from tariffs are an exception in the U.S. farm sector.
