Mexican Imports Feared
Oct. 7-8-9-10
IT’S EARLY - BUT IT’S
Strawberries are one of Ore­
gon’s best crops. But the red
berries are a good crop in many
other parts of the nation and in
Mexico as well.
It’s the last of these facts--Mex-
ico’s ability to grow strawberries
and do it more cheaply than in
this country because of lower la­
bor cost — that has Northwest
growers worried.
Recently members of the Gre­
sham Berry Growers, a produc­
er-owned cooperative, received
information about the threat posed
by the importation of Mexican
berries to the United States.
The information was a reprint
of a bulletin of the Northwest
Canners and Freezers Assn., with
headquarters in Portland. The bul­
letin said there is a strong pos­
sibility” that the UÄ government
may be about to negotiate a low­
ering of the import tarriffs on
strawberries.
♦ • ♦
The association said it heard
“through the grapevine” that the
U.S. Tariff Commission may pro­
pose a lowering of the import
tariff from its present 14 per
cent to 7 per cent of value.
The bulletin suggests that the
best method of preventing this is
to work along “political lines.”
In other words, for processors and
growers to write to their Con­
gressmen, asking to hold the line
on strawberry import tariffs.
"Growers in the United States
are struggling to compete with
cheaply produced Mexican straw­
berries under the existing tariff,
and if they are to continue to sur­
vive the pressure of increasing
Mexican imports, the tariff should
be raised and not lowered,” ad­
vises the bulletin.
A fact sheet also distributed
to local co-op members shows
the rise in berry imports.
In the five years from 1955-
59, an average of 13 million pounds
of frozen berries was imported
yearly into the U.S. from Mex­
ico. Then the figure started climb­
ing. it reached 34.5 million pounds
in 1963, nearly three times the
amount in the 1955-59 period.
• ♦ ♦
The Northwest Canners and
Freezers Assn, states the effect
on the domestic Industry of this
rapidly
increasing tonnage is
"somewhat difficult to assess.”
The processors say that prices
to growers during this period on
the Pacific Coast have fluctuated
up and down near the break-even
point.
And “despite rising population
and consumer income, the domes­
tic pack of frozen strawberries
has been scarcely maintained.”
Most of the berries being ship­
ped in from south of the border
are in 30-lb. tins. These are
reprocessed by American firms.
However, the same 30-lb. tinned
"product” has been "the found­
ation of the Northwest strawberry
industry.”
And while Mexican Imports rose
to 34.5 million pounds, U.S. pro­
duction in these 30-lb. tins drop­
ped about 24 million pounds over
the 1955-59 average.
The bulletin concludes with a
fear that greater Mexican Imports,
particularly of the 30-lb. tins,
would mean "losses to Northwest
producers, processors and labor
measured In the millions of dol­
lars.”
