So I would love to introduce you and ask you to lead off the conversation and allow me hear straight. I'm done talking, I desire to hear from people unless I have concerns naturally, I always have questions regarding what this really feels like. What is the short term impact, the long term impact and what the anxiousness are right now.
I was honored when you called and got to out concerning this. I know this has been very crucial to you, this is really important to several of our companies. The Amherst Chamber of Commerce is here in the community of Amherst, yet our subscription covers 79 zip codes from here to Rochester.
This team that you're mosting likely to hear from today is from a variety of industries across our region. Not all of them are chamber participants, but it was essential to us to make sure that we were all gathered right here today to discuss this, and what we've been listening to mostly from our companies is the uncertainty the mayhem.
Companies intend and there's been a great deal of concerns over the last six years or two, whether it was managing the pandemic and now dealing with the uncertainty of what the expense of items are mosting likely to be, whether they're importing them, exporting them, completed product and placing points together.
Many thanks for inviting me to start with. The greatest problem we have with what's been going on with profession and tolls, and I assume every service individual will tell you, is the mayhem, complication, and uncertainty. I am a fruit farmer, I need to buy trees, make strategies four years out.
We simply don't know what to do, so subsequently, a lot of us are sitting on our hands. We're not making the investment we must make. We're constantly informed in the fruit service, if you're not replacing 5-10 percent of your orchards each year, you're possibly going to run out service later on someplace.
Our farm is half apples. New york city is the second biggest grower of apples in the nation still and concerning a third of the apples created in the USA have actually to be exported. We don't care who exports them. In New york city, we send out some apples to the Center East, Israel, Vietnam.
It's to my advantage that those can be exported. Canada and Mexico are the 2 biggest export markets for American apples. We're out excellent terms with either nation and it's really made it extra challenging for the marketing experts of those apples. Trade relations take a very long time to build.
They're not developed or rebuilt overnight. You mentioned plant food every one of the potassium fertilizers come out of Canada. We don't have them readily available. They're not extracted in the United States in any quantity, so we depend on that. Those prices have risen around 30 percent in the last year.
They all either come from Europe or Asia since the manufacturers have bigger markets in those nations. So those tractors, and the components to fix the ones we currently have actually, have increased half in the last year for anything we want to leave Europe or Japan.
