I wish I had known that before. Don't we grow apples here. (We do, it was my family's business for years.) So why apple juice from China?

We know prices on most goods will increase if we’re lucky enough to find them. I’m curious about which goods and services shouldn’t experience price increases so we know if we’re being price gouged

The higher costs will impact more than just plain apple juice, since concentrate is a key ingredient in a wide variety of other juice mixes, like mixed berry and pear, and is also used as a sweetener in a variety of children’s products, including baby food. www.wired.com/story/apple-...

While produce represents a relatively small portion of China’s exports to the US overall, there are certain types of food and drink heavily sourced from the country, like garlic, seafood, and, yes, apple juice. www.wired.com/story/apple-...

We should be worried about the safety of apples grown in China compared to US-grown apples. Pesticide residues and food handling safety are not enforced in China. Only a small percentage of imported fruit is inspected by the FDA. Trump fired most FDA employees, so we have even fewer protections.
may 6, 2025, 12:43 pm • 1 0 • view
None of that's going to be inspected here, either. He's gutted the FDA's capacity to perform domestic inspections & also gutted several laws concerning levels of pollutants, adulterants, chemicals, & bacterial levels on domestic produce. Nothing's safe here anymore, from anywhere.

& I say this as a market farmer who grows and sells food locally. Customers are often like "Well you grow organically, it wasn't sprayed, so I don't have to wash this, right?" And I am like OH MY GOD NO. It grows in soil. Animals could've shit all over this. Soil carries bacteria. WASH IT.

It's too funny that your customers thought organic veggies didn't need to be washed. I wonder if that is a common misconception. I will repost your message.

I honestly think it is, given the frequency w/which I hear it. Ppl are thinking only of chemical pesticides/herbicides/fertilizers, & don't consider that anything grown in soil or w/in reach of wildlife can contain all kinds of natural but extremely dangerous contaminants.

Wash ALL fruits & veggies (and your hands) when you bring produce home & before you eat them. Even organic produce has dirt & germs on them.

How are Apples that shipped around the world cheaper than growing 'em yourself? I'm genuinely curious, Apples especially lower quality for juice seem just like such an easy product to have.

Obviously actual fruit is healthier, but my kid with a brain tumor needs all the calories he can get, and juice helps with that. Lots of people drink juice for lots of different reasons, and it will suck if prices dramatically rise.

I am sorry that your child has a difficult diagnosis. Rising prices due to tariffs will harm everyone, especially individuals with an illness. Is there a local apple grower in your area, who makes non-alcoholic apple cider, that you could connect with to negotiate a lower price? Refuah Shleimah!
may 6, 2025, 11:35 am • 1 0 • view
You're right, the prices will harm everyone. I wish we did have better options for getting juice locally, but we are in Iowa and although there are some smaller orchards around, their cider production isn't consistent, really only happens in the fall.

If the current admin were turning to american farms and industry to produce these items we import (which is almost everything anyways) this would make a hell of a lot more sense. But it’s haphazard tariffs to prove a point that only hurts americans. What an idiot.

Even then it wouldn't, at least not in this case. It takes 3 full years before a dwarf apple orchard begins to produce, and 4 to 5 years before it's producing in full swing. AND this year it's already too late to plant one.

Lots of apple orchards in my corner of WNC too. But established orchards already have established customers & sell into established supply chains. They don't have the capacity to replace what we'll lose to tarrifs. We'd need new ones, & that takes years. Same w/other mfg. There's no plan AT ALL :(

It's all just senseless destruction and it's infuriating. If he really actually gave a shit about onshoring ANYTHING, he'd announce tarrifs for 3 years from now & then provide lots of tax incentives & other federal support for the onshoring: stick AND carrot, with sufficient lead time.
