California fruit growers urge tariff resolution with China
"Our growers are concerned about the proposed action," Joel Nelsen, president of California Citrus Mutual, which represents the state's citrus growers, told xinhuanet.com.
An increase in the tariff would mean a more expensive product for Chinese consumers and place the industry in a less competitive position compared with other imports, he said. "We are hoping that some positive results can be developed in the next 30 to 60 days."
