Canada Hinges on U S Potatoes and Onions Trade
Canada bought the majority of U S grown potatoes and onions in the first nine months, taking about 43 percent of potatoes and 40 percent of onions exports. The Bennett tariff keeps a 75 cent rate on potatoes permanent, while onion duties run as high as 4.5 cents per pound. Canada spent under a million dollars on early potatoes and under $200,000 on onions, with questions rising in Washington about West Indies effects. Bermuda and the Islands offer competition with Florida and other southern states.
