Case Summary Citation
United States Citrus Science Council v. United States Department of Agriculture, 2017 WL 4844376 (E.D. Cal. 2017).
Abstract
As our world becomes increasingly more dependent on global trade, issues have arisen with respect to the harm caused to domestic producers. In U.S. Citrus Science Council v. USDA, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California clarified domestic lemon producers’ standing to challenge agency decisions that result in the importation of foreign crops. This decision could create similar pathways for future challenges to the importation of other commodities into the United States.
