According to an Arizona-based agricultural organization, ending a trade agreement with Mexican tomato producers will result in higher prices for consumers. The Tomato Suspension Agreement was last renewed in 2019 and is renewed every five years. It allows for Mexican-grown tomatoes to supply grocery stores, mainly in the western US, in winter months as long as Mexican suppliers agree not to dump inventory north of the border and make prices plummet.
Florida's tomato producers - represented by the Florida Tomato Exchange - in June asked the Department of Commerce to terminate the Tomato Suspension Agreement, saying Mexican producers weren't abiding by federal antidumping laws.
