## Resource

California avocado farmers are sounding the alarm as Mexican imports flood the U.S. market, crushing their profits and squeezing their industry. Facing production costs that keep rising while prices plummet—sometimes to just 50 cents on the dollar—they’re pushing for a tariff-rate quota to limit Mexican avocado imports during peak harvest months (March–September). This isn’t about banning imports, but creating breathing room to compete fairly against Mexico’s lower labor costs. With Mexico supplying 85% of U.S. avocados, growers are asking the government to level the playing field—backed by chefs and politicians—while the U.S. prepares for new trade talks under USMCA.
