The U.S. imposed tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese goods, and now the cheese industry is caught in the crossfire.
China is Expected to implement new retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. cheese industry and other sectors. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce says retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. threaten about a billion dollars of Wisconsin's exports, which include cheese.
Overproduction has already created a glut of milk on the market, driving down dairy prices and threatening some of the 130 family farms on which Sartori relies.
The math is fuzzy, but if the Chinese didn't buy the cheese, US customers will.
The prices have been doubling recently.
