Cherry growers seek tariff relief on estimated $86 million loss

YAKIMA — Washington state cherry growers say they stand to lose an estimated $86 million this season due to retaliatory tariffs in place in the U.S. trade war with China. The damages were calculated by the Northwest Horticultural Council after speaking with growers and exporters from around the state. The estimate is made up of sales lost to China due to tariffs and a reduction in grower returns, said Mark Powers, the president of the council. The council focused on lost sales in China because it was the largest importer of Northwest-grown cherries last year.
