💨 Abstract

The U.S. government plans to impose a 21% duty on fresh Mexican tomatoes starting July 14, impacting the $4 billion worth of tomatoes imported annually from Mexico. Proponents argue this will help revive the shrinking U.S. tomato industry, while opponents fear increased costs for consumers. Mexico currently supplies 70% of the U.S. tomato market, up from 30% two decades ago.
