Fruit growers say they have a lot to lose in a trade war. While there appears to be more clarity on the situation, cherry growers say they hope agriculture does not get caught in the middle.
“You know, our hope is that, so to speak, we get responses from between the United States and Mexico where, if there is going to be some type of trade war, that it’s more about specific products. If it’s chips for computers, let’s keep it in the technology world and not turn around and tax apples. You know, that would be a perfect world for us, where we see like industries, if they have issues, let’s let them work it out,” said BJ Thurlby.
Thurlby tells aginfo.net that Mexico is an important market, with tens of millions of boxes of apples exported there each year.
