I don't think Windy would say that. In a free trade scenario, there are no subsidies involved and the company with the lower cherry prices just goes out of business. In other words, the market decides. However, the moment you interject government subsidies the market distorts and you get what you get. China becomes the proud owner of the cherry market.
Then again, this is your point!
