Monitoring of U.S. Imports of Tomatoes

Investigation No. 332-350

 Nothing in this report should be construed to indicate how the Commission would find in an

investigation conducted under other statutory authority covering the same or similar subject matter.

Preface

Section 316 of the North American Free-Trade Agreement Implementation Act (NAFTA

Implementation Act), Public Law 103-182, requires the U.S. International Trade

Commission (Commission) to monitor U.S. imports of "fresh or chilled tomatoes" and "fresh

or chilled peppers, other than chili peppers," until January 1, 2009. In response, the

Commission instituted investigation No. 332-350, Monitoring of U.S. Imports of Tomatoes,

and investigation No. 332-351, Monitoring of U.S. Imports of Peppers, under section 332(g)

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1332(g)).1

This report on the Commission's monitoring investigation covers tomatoes for fresh-market

use and for processing. The purpose of this monitoring, as expressed in the NAFTA

Implementation Act, is to enable the Commission to conduct an expedited investigation

concerning provisional import relief and, if appropriate, recommend to the President

provisional relief should a petition for such relief be filed under section 202 of the Trade Act

of 1974 with respect to imports from all countries, or a petition requesting such relief be filed

under section 302 of the NAFTA Implementation Act with respect to imports from Canada

or Mexico. Generally, such provisional relief would remain in effect, pending completion

of the investigation by the Commission and the taking of final action by the President.

This report contains statistical information gathered by the Commission on the U.S. tomato

industry in the course of its monitoring. This information includes (1) consumption and trade

data (including U.S. imports and U.S. exports) and (2) other industry data (including U.S.

production quantity, value, unit value, and harvested area; U.S. cost-of-production estimates;

shipments; quantities available at major shipping points; and average U.S. retail and

shipping-point prices). The information presented in this report on the U.S. tomato industry

was obtained from a number of sources, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the

U.S. Department of Commerce, the Florida Tomato Committee, the University of Florida

Cooperative Extension Service, and various other State agencies. This report principally

includes 2001-05 data and partial-year data for 2005 and 2006.

ABSTRACT

The imports of fresh-market tomatoes from Mexico and Canada have risen in recent years, in part

as a result of the staged reduction and elimination through 2005 of the duties on fresh tomatoes under

the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Also adding to the growth of trade among the

three member countries has been the increase in greenhouse-growing facilities in each country which

allows for the production and shipments of fresh tomatoes during those seasons when outdoor

production is usually reduced or non-existent because of weather. U.S. imports of fresh-market

tomatoes amounted to $1.1 billion in 2005, accounting for 42 percent of U.S. consumption of $2.5

billion. U.S. exports amounted to $166.1 million in 2005 and remain small relative to production and

consumption. The bulk of the imports from Mexico are field-grown tomatoes and continue to enter

principally through Arizona. By contrast, the bulk of imports from Canada are greenhouse-grown

tomatoes raised in Ontario and British Columbia, and enter mainly through U.S. Customs Districts

nearest to Canadian production areas. Grower pricing for producing fresh tomatoes continues to lag

far behind retail prices charged in grocery stores and at wholesale terminal markets.

Highlights

The following are highlights of the statistical data collected on tomatoes for fresh-market use and for

processing for the 2001-05 period.

Fresh-market Tomatoes

! Apparent U.S. consumption was 2.6 million metric tons in 2005, up slightly from 2.5 million

metric tons in 2004; consumption in 2005 was valued at $2.5 billion, up from $2.3 billion in

2004 (table 1). The ratio of import volume to consumption in 2005 was 37 percent, the same as

that in 2004. The ratio of import value to consumption fell from 45 percent in 2004 t 42 percent

in 2005. The principal U.S. trading partners for fresh-market tomatoes were Mexico and Canada

(tables 3 and 5). Shipments from Florida were down considerably in 2005/06 from those in

2004/05 following severe weather damage to the crop during the early part of the growing

season.

! U.S. production of tomatoes for fresh-market use was up by 3 percent from 1.74 million metric

tons in 2004 to 1.79 million metric tons in 2005 (table 1). The value of production rose from

$1.4 billion in 2004 to $1.6 billion in 2005, with a rise in unit value from $827 per metric ton in

1004 to $915 per metric ton in 2005. Florida and California remained the states with the largest

production volume of fresh-market tomatoes in 2005, accounting for 39 and 30 percent,

respectively, of total U.S. production (table 23). Other states with significant production volume

during 2001-05 included Virginia, Tennessee, Ohio, and Georgia. U.S. harvested area of freshmarket tomatoes increased 3 percent from 126,400 acres in 2004 to 129,800 acres in 2005

(table 23).

! U.S. exports of fresh-market tomatoes fell by 11 percent from 165,841 metric tons in 2004 to

147,951 metric tons in 2005; export value also fell from 2004 to 2005 (table 1). U.S. export

volume was down by 5 percent during January-June 2006 as compared with exports during the

corresponding months in 2005 (table 3). Canada continued as the leading market for U.S. exports

of fresh-market tomatoes throughout the 2001-05 period, accounting for 88 percent of the total

volume (90 percent of value) in 2005 (table 3).

! U.S. imports of all fresh-market tomatoes rose by 2 percent from 931,972 metric tons in 2004

to 951,786 metric tons in 2005 (table 5). Imports were valued at $1.1 billion in 2005, about the

same as that in 2004. Imports were up 16 percent by volume during January-June 2006 as

compared with imports during the corresponding months in 2005. Mexico, the leading supplier

of imports throughout the 2001-05 period, accounted for 84 percent, by volume, of total imports

in 2005 (table 5). U.S. imports from Canada rose by 6 percent in volume from 2004 to 2005 and

accounted for 15 percent of total imports in 2005.

! U.S. imports of fresh-market greenhouse tomatoes rose by 40 percent in volume from 2004 to

2005, and continued to rise substantially during January-June 2006 (table 6). Mexico and Canada

accounted for 51 and 47 percent, respectively, of the total in 2005. U.S. imports of fresh-market

cherry tomatoes fell by 17 percent in volume from 2004 to 2005 and amounted to 31,484 metric

tons in 2005, with Mexico accounting for 99 percent of the total in 2005 (table 7). U.S. imports

of grape tomatoes nearly all supplied by Mexico rose by 5 percent from 
2

33,707 metric tons in 2004 to 35,518 metric tons in 2005, and were valued at $52.4 million in

2005 (table 8).

! U.S. imports of fresh-market roma tomatoes rose by 2 percent from 350,420 metric tons in 2004

to 358,635 metric tons in 2005, and were nearly all from Mexico (table 9). U.S. imports of other

fresh-market tomatoes amounted to 232,790 metric tons in 2005, down by 23 percent from

300,990 metric tons in 2004 (table 10). Imports from Mexico and Canada accounted for nearly

all of the total in 2005. 

! U.S. imports from Mexico of all fresh-market tomatoes, entered on a July-June crop-year basis,

amounted to 835,489 metric tons during July 2005-June 2006, up by 11 percent from

750,823 metric tons during July 2004-June 2005 (table 11). In recent years, about 60 percent of

total annual volume from Mexico entered through the Nogales Customs District. In recent years,

more than one-half of total average annual imports from Mexico entered during January-April,

overlapping the middle of the Florida growing season.

! U.S. imports of all fresh-market tomatoes (principally greenhouse-grown) from Canada, entered

on a July-June crop-year basis, were nearly the same volume during 2004/05 and 2005/06

(table 12). During July 2005-June 2006, 86 percent of total import volume entered through the

Detroit and Seattle Customs Districts, with the bulk of these shipments entering during those

months (May-September) coinciding with peak domestic production in California and the rest

of the United States. Florida and California remain the primary sources for U.S. fresh-market

tomato production (table 23). Buffalo is also a principal Customs District of entry from Canada,

especially for tomatoes sold in Eastern U.S. markets. During the July 2005-June 2006 period, 40

percent of total crop-year import volume from Canada entered during March-June, coinciding

with the latter half of the normal Florida shipping season.

! U.S. imports of all fresh-market tomatoes from the Netherlands, quite small relative to imports

from Mexico and Canada, fell by 23 percent from 8,746 metric tons in 2004/05 to 6,775 metric

tons in 2005/06 (table 13). During July 2005-June 2006, about 43 percent of total imports entered

through the New York Customs District.

! On a crop-year basis, average U.S. monthly retail prices of rose steadily through 2004/05, with

shipping-point prices trending upward throughout the 2001/02 to 2005/06 period and price

differentials rising steadily.

Processed Tomatoes

! U.S. imports have fallen steadily since 2002 while U.S. exports have risen (table 2). Canada,

Mexico, and Japan remained the principal markets for U.S. processed-tomato exports (table 4),

with Canada and Mexico principal sources for U.S. imports together with Israel, Italy, and

Turkey (table 22). California has remained the primary source for U.S. production of processing

tomatoes for many years, but substantial production also occurs in Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan

(table 25). Production of tomatoes for processing fell by 17 percent from 11.1 million metric tons

in 2004 to 9.3 million metric tons in 2005, with production value estimated at $622.1 million in

2005 (table 2). Unit values have remained about the same throughout the 2001-05 period.

California, Indiana, and Ohio were the leading states producing fresh tomatoes for processing

in recent years, with production in these states together accounting for 98 percent of total

production volume in 2005 (table 25). Domestic harvested area of tomatoes for processing fell
3

by 6 percent from 300,620 acres in 2004 to 282,040 acres in 2005; California accounted for

94 percent of total harvested area in 2005.

! U.S. exports of processed tomatoes amounted to 185,668 metric tons (valued at $127.0 million)

in 2005, up slightly from 183,012 metric tons ($122.2 million) in 2004 (table 2). Canada,

Mexico, Japan, and Korea were the leading U.S. export markets for processed tomatoes in 2005,

together accounting for 85 percent of total export volume in that year (table 4). Export volume

during January-June 2006 was up slightly over the amount exported during the corresponding

months of 2005.

! U.S. imports of processed tomatoes rose slightly from 26,133 metric tons, valued at

$18.2 million, in 2004 to 26,260 metric tons, valued at $21.5 million in 2005 (table 22). Israel,

Canada, and Italy were the leading sources of imported processed tomatoes in 2005. Imports

during January-June 2006 were up by 52 percent in quantity and 38 percent in value from levels

of the corresponding period of 2005.

2003 Summary: Jan. 2004, Vg 1-2(04), p. 79; 2004 Summary: Jan. 2005, Vg 1-2(05), p. 63; and 2005 Summary:

Jan. 2006, Vg 1-2(06), p. 73; exports and imports compiled from official statistics of Commerce, except as noted.

Note.—Production data are revised annually and figures for the most recent calendar years may not match data

presented in earlier reports.

Note.—Consumption of processed tomato products can not be calculated since production is on a raw-product

basis, but exports are on a processed-weight basis.

Note.—Unit values for U.S. production are low, relative to those for exports and imports, because production

includes only raw product intended for processing, not finished product. Exports and imports are finished products.

Note.—Beginning in 2000, U.S. imports of certain processed tomato products that previously had entered under

HTS subheadings 2002.90.40 and 2002.90.80 are now entered under different HTS subheadings 

following a Federal Court ruling. As a result, import data reported here are probably understating actual total

canned-tomato products imports.

a

Data are for raw product intended for processing and are converted from pounds to metric tons using a factor

of 2,204.62 pounds per metric ton. U.S. production of processed tomato products on a processed-weight basis

has not been reported for a number of years. b

Data are for prepared or preserved tomatoes (Schedule B No. 2002.10.0000, 2002.90.0060, and

2002.90.0080) on a processed-weight basis. c

Data are for prepared or preserved tomatoes (HTS subheadings 2002.10.00, 2002.90.40, and 2002.90.80) on

Note.—Unit values for tomatoes from Canada, Israel, and most EU countries are generally significantly higher than

unit values for products from Mexico because they are believed to be primarily higher-valued greenhouse-grown

tomatoes.

Note.—Depending upon the time of year when entered, imports in 2006 enter at the MFN rates of 2.8 and 3.9 cents

per kilogram, respectively, or free pursuant to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the United
