I saw a film recently, about Trumps tariffs, one section was about Mexico's new 25% tariff, and its effect on avocados alone in the US.
They have passed the increase onto their customers, and as the US imported 2.4billion pounds, these tariffs are going to fall back on the American people, I wonder how long it will take them to realise that rather than helping, it is going to cost more.
The US heavily relies on imports of fruits and vegetables from Mexico, with Mexico being the largest single source for these imports, accounting for roughly 63% of U.S. vegetable imports and 47% of fruit and nut imports in 2023.
A few links for those interested.........
