Millions of farmers in the United States are losing money because China is not buying the crops they grow. But garlic growers are making more money because Chinese garlic now costs almost as much as U.S.-grown garlic. For many years, sales of garlic grown in California were going down because garlic from China was less costly. Now, California garlic sales are rising, and may go higher as the U.S. government increases tariffs on Chinese products. Ken Christopher is executive vice president of his family’s company, Christopher Ranch. It is the largest of three commercial garlic producers in the United States. The other producers failed. Christopher’s company wants the tariffs to remain in effect. "In a perfect world, we'd love to see the tariffs stay on forever," he said. U.S. garlic growers are happy because most of their sales are to Americans. Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10 to 25 percent on May 9. That is when U.S. President Donald Trump increased tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese products.
