US EditionTomato Prices Projected to Increase at Long Island Restaurants and Stores Following End of U.S.-Mexico Trade Deal
UNITED STATES, JUL 22 – The Trump Administration ended a 30-year agreement to protect U.S. growers and imposed a 17% tariff on Mexican tomatoes, which supply nearly 70% of the U.S. market, officials said.
- On July 14, 2025, the U.S. imposed a 17% import tariff on fresh Mexican tomatoes, ending a decades-old trade agreement.
- This tariff followed the termination of the 2019 tomato suspension agreement due to concerns about unfairly priced Mexican imports flooding the U.S. market.
- Florida farmers hailed the tariff as a win for U.S. agriculture, while officials and industry representatives from Arizona and Texas cautioned that it could lead to higher costs and jeopardize nearly 50,000 jobs in their states.
- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick declared, "That ends today," while Mexico's ministries called the action unfair and expressed hope that reason will prevail in ongoing talks.
- The tariff aims to support U.S. farmers and family farms but could increase consumer prices and create challenges for distributors reliant on Mexican tomatoes.
