China Retaliations Includes Fries and Dehydrated Potatoes
USAgNet - 08/17/2018

The escalating trade war between the U.S. and China increased further as both sides announced new multi-billion tariffs on a host of goods. As expected, China included U.S. fries and dehydrated potatoes on its announced retaliation list. The new tariffs are 10% on fries and 25% on dehydrated potatoes.

"We're monitoring this situation in coordination with U.S. trade officials. Our message to all parties has not changed. They need to settle these issues at the negotiating table urgently, as the negative economic impacts of these tariffs will only increase over time," said John Keeling, National Potato Council executive director.

The implementation date for these tariffs is currently unknown and contingent upon the U.S. taking firm action following the announcement of increased tariffs against Chinese exports, reports the Northern Plains Potato Growers Association, which has member-growers across Minnesota and North Dakota.
