September 29, 2018 - Grape growers say tariffs from China have rattled their markets.
Exports of California table grapes to China dropped 40 percent once it began imposing extra tariffs this spring.
Shippers have been seeking new markets for the grapes.
Typically, more than one-third of the state’s production is exported.
The California table-grape harvest has reached midseason, with marketers expecting a slightly larger crop than last year.
