Agriculture Leaders Say Imports Clearly Contribute to Success of Domestic Industry by Providing Year-Round Supply of Super Fruit
WATSONVILLE, CALIF. (January 6, 2021) – Ahead of the incoming Biden Administration’s first major trade dispute, American and international blueberry berry growers, importers, distributors, purchasers, and suppliers have aligned to form The Blueberry Coalition for Progress & Health.
The Coalition has been organized to oppose limitations on blueberry imports, including the upcoming International Trade Commission hearing on blueberry imports. All members of the Coalition agree that imports are not a substantial cause of serious injury to the domestic blueberry industry.
In fact, the U.S. blueberry market is healthy, thriving, and is doing its best to keep up with the year-round marketplace demand for this healthy and nutritious fruit.
