How Trump's tariffs on Mexican tomatoes could affect Arizonans' grocery prices
An ASU economist weighs in on how the tomato tariff could lead to higher prices for consumers.
In this story aired July 22, 2025, on Arizona Horizon:
Every time a fresh tomato crosses the border from Mexico to Arizona, the U.S. importer is going to pay a duty, a tariff of 17% on any fresh tomato. So if the price of a tomato is $100, you are now going to pay $117.
