In Oregon hazelnut country, tariffs unsettling

Additional 25% levies imposed by China in response to Trump administration's moves will make it difficult for local growers to compete

Driving through the Willamette Valley in Oregon, which extends from Portland in the north to Eugene in the south, one can see hazelnut trees as far as the horizon.

The area cultivates 99 percent of the hazelnuts grown in the United States on more than 29,560 hectares, yielding a harvest worth $90 million annually for Oregon.
