Texas urges the U.S. Department of Commerce to maintain the Tomato Suspension Agreement.

The Tomato Suspension Agreement, established by the U.S. Department of Commerce and Mexican producers, sets a minimum price for Mexican tomatoes to prevent market disruption. This agreement benefits Texas and Mexico by fostering a strong economic relationship and supporting nearly 50,000 jobs. Without it, U.S. companies face a 17.09% tariff on Mexican tomatoes, potentially costing Texas over $4.5 billion and 32,000 jobs. The resolution urges the U.S. Department of Commerce to maintain this agreement to protect Texas businesses and consumers.
