Anti-Dumping Mexican Tomatoes and USMCA Review
From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson with your Agribusiness Update.
**The International Trade Commission has voted to maintain the antidumping order on fresh tomatoes imported from Mexico, rejecting a request to revoke the trade measure.
The decision means the existing antidumping order will remain in effect, continuing trade protections for U.S. tomato growers.
The Florida Tomato Exchange says the ruling reinforces longstanding findings that Mexican tomatoes have been sold here at unfair prices.
**American ag groups reacted to the U.S., Mexico, and Canada launching the first joint review of the USMCA.
U.S. Dairy Export Council Vice President, Shawna Morris says getting USMCA right matters enormously to our industry, which ships more than 40% of U.S. dairy exports to Canada and Mexico.
The agreement is also vital for U.S. pork exports.
The Trump administration decided to not approve renewal of the agreement in its current state.
**Family farmers receive just 11.8 cents of every dollar consumers spend on food, according to an updated National Farmers Union report.
The report tracks the farmers’ share of popular cookout foods and highlights the growing gap between grocery prices and what producers earn.
NFU says the figures come as farm finances remain under pressure, with bankruptcies rising 46% from 2024 to 25, record farm debt, and continued high input costs for producers.
