币界网报道：U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids on farms employing undocumented workers have caused severe labor shortages, leading to skyrocketing produce prices. Farmers report losing up to 70% of their workforce overnight, forcing them to leave crops unharvested. Wholesale prices for key crops like tomatoes and berries have surged 30-50% in affected regions, with retail spikes expected soon. Agricultural economists warn the disruptions could add $15-20 billion annually to U.S. food costs if enforcement continues at this scale. Industry groups are lobbying Congress for emergency guest worker visas while some farms are testing automation as a stopgap solution. The raids highlight the delicate balance between immigration enforcement and maintaining stable food supply chains.
