Impact of Tariff Trumph on Agriculture Industry

In 2025, global agricultural trade is under major strain following President Trump’s Liberation Day Tariffs, which introduced steep duties to correct trade imbalances. Tariffs now range from 10% on imports from allies like Japan to as high as 46% on Vietnamese goods and 34% on Chinese agricultural products, with a blanket 25% on agri-machinery, fertilizers, and processed foods. This has significantly raised input costs for U.S. farmers and triggered retaliatory tariffs from key partners like China, the EU, and Brazil. China’s countermeasures up to 120% on U.S. exports like soybeans, pork, and dairy—have already slashed Q1 soybean exports by 19.7%. Canada and others have also tightened import rules, compounding uncertainty.

Key agriculture sectors are struggling. Row crop farmers face slumping export prices and higher input costs, leading many to explore alternative crops and new markets in South Asia and Africa. Dairy and pork producers are dealing with oversupply and weak demand, especially from China and the EU. Fruit and vegetable growers are hit by increased spoilage and packaging costs, while food processors are seeing a 10–14% rise in unit costs due to equipment and material tariffs. Logistics firms, meanwhile, are grappling with slower exports and rising warehousing needs, pushing them to revamp inland routes and distribution strategies.

China, while not the largest exporter of agricultural goods to the U.S., is a key supplier of specific inputs like agrochemicals, additives, seafood, and processed foods. Many of these goods are also routed through intermediaries in Asia, so tariffs aimed at China disrupt broader global supply chains. U.S. agribusinesses are seeing input costs rise by up to 22%, complicating seasonal planning and tightening margins. While some are turning to alternate sourcing from India, Latin America, or Southeast Asia, challenges like logistics and compliance slow the transition.

To adapt, agribusinesses are increasingly relying on market research. It helps identify lower-risk suppliers, monitor input costs, optimize fragmented supply chains, and understand shifting consumer behaviors. Firms are also tracking regulatory changes and running scenario planning models to anticipate disruptions. Major companies are responding by reshoring supply chains, investing in local operations, and realigning exports toward tariff-exempt markets. The most resilient players are those using real-time data and strategic foresight to reconfigure operations and maintain competitiveness amid ongoing trade volatility.

Which Region will dominate the Market in 2024, and Which Region is Expanding at the Fastest CAGR?

The Asian-Pacific region has dominated the Glufosinate Market. In terms of value, Asia-Pacific held XX% share of the global Glufosinate market. Asia-Pacific is anticipated to dominate the Glufosinate market globally. Asia-Pacific has been a dominant force in the global glufosinate market and its significance has only grown in the post-2020 era. Farmers are adopting glufosinate herbicides compared to other conventional herbicides as they provide an active ingredient glufosinate ammonium which works effectively in killing the weeds by not damaging the crop quality. More adoption by the farmers is driving the market in this region. Furthermore, the presence of vast agricultural land helps in increasing the usage of glufosinate in the agriculture sector in this region. For instance, according to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry report of 2023, 55% of Australian land is used for agriculture purposes which is about 427 million hectares. The demand for glufosinate will be increasing with the increase in agriculture practices, and this lead to an increase in the global glufosinate market. Additionally, the government in this region has banned the usage of alternative herbicides such as glyphosate for use as weed controllers. The government of India has banned glyphosate herbicides in some regions of the country such as Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Telangana. This can lead to an increase in the adoption of glufosinate herbicides in this region.

The North American Glufosinate Market is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2023 to 2032. North America accounted for around XX% in 2022 e. North America boasts a substantial agricultural sector, with extensive areas dedicated to crop cultivation. The region's vast farmland provides a significant market for herbicides like glufosinate. North America is at the forefront of agricultural innovation, with advanced farming practices, machinery, and technologies widely adopted across the continent. The integration of precision agriculture techniques, including the use of genetically modified crops resistant to glufosinate, has contributed to the high demand for this herbicide in the region.
