TX HCR108

Urges the U.S. Department of Commerce to maintain the Tomato Suspension Agreement with Mexico, which sets minimum reference prices for fresh tomatoes imported from Mexico to prevent market injury

Fresh tomatoes from Mexico contribute over $7.5 billion to the U.S. economy and support nearly 50,000 jobs, with more than half entering through Texas ports in Pharr and Laredo valued at nearly $1.5 billion

Termination of the agreement would impose a 17.09% tariff on Mexican tomato imports, potentially costing Texas more than $4.5 billion and 32,000 jobs

Directs the Texas Secretary of State to forward an official copy of this resolution to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce

Adopted by the Texas House on May 10, 2025 (102-16) and the Senate on May 26, 2025 (31-0)
