In Gilroy, California, garlic is everything and everywhere.The "stinky rose--as they call it--is this community's cash crop, it's identity and the root of the local economy. And now, this homegrown produce is being impacted by international politics.“The second we heard about these tariffs, we were elated,” says Ken Christopher of Christopher Ranch, Gilroy’s top garlic producer. Christopher is talking about new tariffs recently passed down by the Trump administration. These tariffs are increasing taxes on all kinds of imported goods, including garlic, which Christopher says gives them a level playing field after years of competing against what he claims are illegal import practices.“American garlic farmers, we're not afraid of competition,” Christopher says. “We're more than happy to compete with other countries like Mexico, Spain, and Argentina, because they play by the rules. It's when non-market actors like China try to compete and distort the rules that when we get upset.”Christopher Ranch is the Gilroy's largest employer and its last garlic farm.Christopher tells us that before 1993, almost all garlic consumed in America was grown in America. He says, however, that all changed when Chinese importers started illegally flooding the market with tens of millions of pounds of garlic. “When that happened, there used to be 12 garlic farmers in America; now there's only three,” Christopher says. “It’s tariffs like these that protect the final garlic farms here.”These tariffs also appear to protect the price of garlic. Before these tariffs went into effect, a box of California grown garlic was trading at a box at most, while imported Chinese garlic was selling for a box. After these new tariffs went into effect, the price of Chinese garlic has increased to more than a box.“When you're talking about a 25 percent on all inbound Chinese garlic, that means there's going to be a demand for California grown garlic,” Christopher says. “That's going to mean more production, more jobs, higher wages, investment in infrastructure, and a real economic shift in our community.”With harvest just a few weeks away, American garlic farmers says these tariffs couldn't have come at a better time. 2235

ITHICA, N.Y. – Coronavirus concerns have people stocking up on products like facemasks, hand sanitizer and toilet paper, so much so that some store shelves are empty and online stock is running out. Cornell University professor Karan Girotra says fear creates shortages. “Panic buying arises out of rumors, unfounded information and a lack of confidence, so don’t believe everything you hear, don’t go out and buy things you don’t need,” said Girotra. Many of these products are made in America – Charmin toilet paper and Purell, for example.Girotra says you need to recognize coronavirus is a slow-moving event. Companies have time to adjust supply plans, unlike an event like a hurricane. Panic buying creates problems for people who need these items more than the average person.“Not everybody needs a facemask but people who are more high risk, people who interact with other individuals, people who have a public facing role, a cashier, somebody who is an Uber driver is probably more in need of one of these facemasks,” said Girotra. The professor says you likely won't see price increases, but if the cheap brands run out, you may be forced to buy more expensive ones.Girotra also says companies need to be more open about the supply they have. 1263
