Consumer articles as daily in the United States as avocados, ‘cherry’ tomatoes or arce syrup You can see their prices up the clouds as immediate effect Of the 25% tariffs that Donald Trump has this Saturday for products from Mexico and Canada, and 10% for China. Tomatoes and avocados, which constitute the very image of healthy eating, basically come from Mexico: Half of the tomato produced on Mexican soil is destined to the US marketaccording to the California fruits and vegetable association.
What to say about alcoholic beverages? For two years, the Mexican model was erected as the best selling beer throughout the United States, unseatting the Bud place; and also others such as Corona or Pacific are practically found in all bars and supermarket shelves in the country.
Between the liquors, The Mexican tequila is far from occupying the throne of whiskey, but it is already the most selling liquor in all border states with Mexico, from California to Texas, and its consumption throughout the country grows at an annual rate of 9%.
Canadian products are not as ubiquitous as Mexicans, with an exception: Arce syrup, an almost mandatory product in an ‘American breakfast’ to water a mountain of pancakes. Canada, in fact, produces 90% of the syrup consumed throughout the world.
Other Canadian products that can be easily found in the US are red fruits (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries), as well as industrial pastries.
All these products are going to suffer a 25% tariff from next Tuesday, which will immediately have an impact on their US consumer sales and unleashed inflationary tensions.
And not to mention gasoline. Up to 66% of the crude oil that the US imports from Canada. The 10 % tariff that Trump imposed on Saturday will undoubtedly be noted in the suppliers, something that the American consumer historically has never forgiven.
