U.S. GARLIC GROWERS PROSPER IN TRADE WAR –

Sales of California-grown garlic are increasing after decades of losing ground to cheaper Chinese imports. Sales are poised to get even better as Chinese garlic faces higher tariffs, with no end to the trade war in sight. While many farmers are suffering through the trade war because they relied heavily on imports to China, U.S. garlic growers benefit because they rely overwhelmingly on domestic sales. (Reuters)
