Tariffs, Trade Wars & Tensions – What You Need to Know

As U.S. trade tensions heat up, peanut products are squarely in the crosshairs. With retaliatory tariffs now affecting everything from peanut butter to raw peanuts, American exporters are facing major uncertainty.

At AgCold, we’re closely monitoring how these developments affect the peanut industry. With the new 10% additional tariff impacting in-quota and over-quota rates for peanuts, exporters face unprecedented challenges. However, peanut products from Canada and Mexico that comply with USMCA rules of origin continue to enjoy zero tariffs, providing a strategic advantage in these markets.

At AgCold, we understand the stakes. The current trade war could have a lasting impact on pricing, logistics, and supply chain planning.

That’s where we come in. AgCold’s strategic cold storage solutions are designed to help you pivot quickly – whether you’re adjusting shipment timing, exploring new markets, or protecting sensitive inventory during trade disruptions.
