Instant coffee, grapes, honey and Brazilian fish may be impacted by the lifting of Trump’s tariffs; understand

Brazilian agricultural products including instant coffee, grapes, honey, and fish could benefit from the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to suspend tariffs imposed by Trump.

Brazilian products such as instant coffee, grapes, honey, and fish stand to gain from the recent decision of the U.S. Supreme Court to suspend tariffs previously imposed by President Trump. This decision announced on the 20th of November may provide relief for these agricultural products, which have faced a 50% tariff in the U.S. market, hindering their competitiveness. The previous U.S. government decisions had only exempted a limited set of products from additional tariffs, including significant export items like grain coffee and beef, which are crucial for Brazil's agricultural exports.

The background to this situation includes two significant rulings by the U.S. government earlier in November that removed a 10% reciprocal tariff on approximately 200 food products from various countries. The second ruling specifically benefitted Brazil, suspending a steep 40% extra tariff on over 200 items, expanding the list of exemptions to nearly 700 products. These changes are seen as a positive move for the Brazilian agricultural sector, as they could enhance market access and improve export competitiveness in a challenging economic environment.

Should this trend continue, Brazilian suppliers and producers may experience increased orders from the U.S., which is a key market for these types of goods. The suspension indicates a potential shift in U.S. trade policy under the current administration, suggesting a willingness to reconsider past tariff decisions and foster better trade relations with Brazil's agricultural industry.
