The Impact of the United States' Tariff

In April 2025, the "reciprocal tariff" policy announced by the US government was officially implemented, imposing a "minimum baseline tariff" of 10% on global trading partners, and some countries and regions are facing higher tax rates.

As the world's largest beef producer, Brazil's situation is particularly complex. The tax rate for Brazilian beef exports to the United States has reached 36%, and the price of Brazilian beef in the US market will rise significantly, which may lead to the division of its market share by other beef exporting countries. The Brazilian economy is highly dependent on beef exports, and the livelihoods of a large number of farmers and processing enterprises have been affected by this.

The US tariff policy has brought short-term pain to the global beef market, but it has also pushed countries to accelerate industrial upgrading and market diversification.
