Costa Links Trump Tariffs to Higher Costs for California Farmers and Consumers

Sep 17, 2026

In a House Agriculture Committee hearing, Rep. Jim Costa criticized tariffs from the second Trump administration as repeating first-term mistakes that harm American consumers and producers. Witnesses from California's specialty crop sector detailed higher costs for imported inputs like potash (85% from Canada), seeds, packaging, and diesel amid the Iran war, plus disrupted exports to Canada and Mexico (40% of their market). Dairy and family farm representatives echoed concerns over chaotic trade policy hurting reliable neighbors and bottom lines. The segment focused on integrated North American supply chains and called for stable, predictable trade.
