Take a look at U.S. exports of fruit to China over the past five years or so.

The export picture isn’t pretty for the last couple of years, and President Trump must solve the trade negotiations with China in a way that restores the potential of that market.

I’m surprised grower groups - including but not limited to produce groups - aren’t making more noise to insist that current trade barriers are quickly removed. It is time for some more forceful push back.
