MEXICO CITY - Mexican tomato producers have reached a deal with the U.S. government to avoid an anti-dumping investigation, Mexican Economy Minister Graciela Marquez said on Wednesday, ending a testy tariff dispute that had rumbled on for months.
In May, the U.S. Commerce Department imposed a 17.5% tariff on Mexican tomatoes after the two sides failed to renew an earlier agreement that halted a U.S. anti-dumping probe. Since then, the two sides have held negotiations in search of a deal. In a joint statement, several Mexican agricultural associations including the SPTN tomato producers group, said the accord included a “controversial proposal” to carry out border inspections on 92% of exports to for quality control purposes.
