Garlic farmers in the USA seem grateful to Donald Trump for sanctions on China which has reduced imports of garlic into the USA. This has brought joy to farmers and is boosting the sales of locally grown garlic and is allowing their garlic to thrive especially in the large USA market.
The 25% tax put on garlic imports from China seems to be doing a whole lot of good for local USA farmers.

It's nice to see that atleast some farmers are profiting off this trade war, but it is obvious that this is not the case for all.
ReplyDeleteMuch like Joey said, it is great that the garlic farmers are seeing increased sales due to tariffs, but it is a very small industry in comparison to other crops being negatively effected.
ReplyDeleteThis is what is to be expected with some of tariffs that were put in place. This has happened in other instances as well but overall the trade war has hurt farmers quite a bit.
