TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller warned customers of upper produce costs in days due to the improved industrial car inspections alongside the border.
“Within per week, you will see limes and lemons going for $2. Probably see avocados 4 to five bucks a chunk,” predicted Commissioner Miller throughout an interview with CBS 11 Tuesday afternoon.
The commissioner mentioned this time of the 12 months, Texas depends upon tomatoes, broccoli, bananas, avocados, limes and lemons to be imported from Central and South America.
Commissioner Miller and Governor Abbott are each Republicans. Miller insists this isn’t a celebration challenge.
“I’m most likely the one statewide elected Republican that may problem Abbott. But he must know that he is hurting farmers, he is hurting Texas companies, and in the end the Texas shopper goes to pay increased costs for groceries they usually’re already too excessive,” mentioned Miller.
