How is it a loophole?
Is the loophole that you can export food? California exports a lot of food, apparently $20 billion/year worth of it (see https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/statistics/ https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/statistics/). Is there a reason why this food should be different?
Is the loophole that a foreign company owns the farms? There's a lot of foreign investment in other industries in California (and everywhere). Is there a reason why this industry should be different?
I'm just not seeing what is unique about this.
- anigbrowl 8y agoThe loophole is in the flat rate for water access on that tract of land.
