With the cherry harvest in the Mid-Columbia underway, a volatile international trade situation is creating uncertainty.  Ken Bailey of Orchard View Farms says you never know for sure what the impacts of tariffs would be until you product begins to be put on the market.  Bailey notes non-tariff barriers that can be an issue.  He says one example is China’s move last month to change its inspection rate of produce for pesticide residues from 30 percent of imports to 100 percent.  That slows the inspection process, and combined with insufficient cold storage facilities has the potential to lead to major disruptions.
