The U.S. International Trade Commission has voted to maintain the antidumping order on fresh tomatoes imported from Mexico, rejecting a request to revoke the trade measure after finding no changed circumstances that would justify ending it. The commission's decision means the existing antidumping order will remain in effect, continuing trade protections for U.S. tomato growers who have argued that unfairly priced imports from Mexico have harmed the domestic industry. The review stemmed from a request by several Mexican producers seeking to overturn the order following the termination of the 2019 Tomato Suspension Agreement. The Florida Tomato Exchange welcomed the ruling, saying it reinforces longstanding findings that Mexican tomatoes have been sold in the United States at unfair prices and supports American growers competing in the marketplace. Mexican producers have maintained that market conditions have changed and have opposed the continuation of antidumping measures. The USITC said a public report explaining the commission's decision will be released by Aug. 17.
