ITC determines blueberry imports don t cause injury to domestic industry
The ITC decision on the 201 investigation regarding blueberry imports was made yesterday, February 11th. The ITC determined that fresh, chilled, or frozen blueberries are not causing injury to the domestic industry; they are not being imported into the United States in such quantities as to be a substantial cause of serious injury, or the threat of serious injury. The Commission’s determination resulted from a 5-0 vote.
Good news for importers and foreign producers
Organizations such as the Blueberry Coalition for Progress and Health and the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas applaud the decision made by the ITC. Joe Barsi, President of California Giant Berry Farms, says: “The Coalition came together to provide evidence to support why blueberry imports were not causing serious injury to the domestic industry, and I think we were able to do so very effectively at the January 12th hearing.
âOutcome of ITC investigation will affect the entire trade relationship between the US and Mexicoâ
The result of the ITC 201 investigation on imported blueberries will be declared tomorrow, February 11th. Yesterday, FreshPlaza published an article detailing the perspective of the domestic blueberry growers in the United States, featuring Jerome Crosby of the American Blueberry Growers Association. Today, the focus is on the perspective of the importers and foreign producers, with input from the Blueberry Coalition for Progress and Health as well as from Lance Jungmeyer of the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas.
Growth in US demand and per capita consumption
U.S. blueberry industry groups testify at ITC trade hearing
January 13 , 2021
Groups representing two different sectors of the U.S. blueberry industry testified on Tuesday at a hearing before the U.S. International Trade Commission, as part of its probe into whether foreign trading partners are seriously harming domestic growers.
The Blueberry Coalition for Progress and Health, which was announced last week, maintains that imports haven t hurt domestic farmers and have in fact helped to grow the market to the benefit of all.
The American Blueberry Growers Alliance (ABGA) meanwhile claimed rising Latin American imports in the spring and fall were responsible for a sharp decline in prices over recent years.
