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.

Regional Insights of the Greenhouse Horticulture Market

Which region dominate the Greenhouse Horticulture market in 2024?

According to Cognitive Market Research, with the biggest percentage of global revenue, greenhouse horticulture is currently the most popular in Europe. The growing demand for premium crops in European nations will fuel the most increase in the global greenhouse horticulture business, which is expected in Europe. Furthermore, significant environmental changes are occurring across the continent, which have an immediate effect on crop quality and output. To meet the need for food and vegetables in the region, this has increased the need for greenhouse horticulture. In addition, the lack of enough arable land has increased the demand for more intelligent and intense farming methods. Because crop yields can be maximized in constrained areas, protected cropping enables the best possible use of the land that is available.

Europe's greenhouses are characterized by their higher latitude compared to other regions, which allows for greater light access. Because winter days are shorter in higher latitudes, greenhouses must be designed to receive as much light as possible during the day.  The market share of the global horticulture products sector is greater than 10%. With the support of several free trade agreements in the Eurozone with nations like Iceland and Norway, the nation has grown to be a significant exporter of greenhouse goods and technologies.

•    For Instance: In Aug 2023 - The Netherlands is one of the top producers of greenhouse products and a major exporter of greenhouse technologies and parts.

In addition, the Netherlands' greenhouse horticulture sector is expanding quickly as a result of the abundance of businesses operating there. 

Which region is expanding at the faster CAGR?

According to Cognitive Market Research, the market for greenhouse horticulture is expected to grow at the fastest rate in the Asia-Pacific area. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to have a significant boost within the global greenhouse horticulture industry, based on current market trends and estimates. This prediction is supported by several contributing elements. Growing consumer demand for premium, fresh produce, to meet this need, agriculture is becoming more and more necessary in a controlled environment. Notable is the substantial government subsidies as well as supportive policies for greenhouse farming in nations like China, India, and Japan are the main drivers of this expansion. The goal of this methodical approach is to decrease the negative effects of traditional farming on the environment, increase food security, and decrease post-harvest losses. The necessity for food security and the growing urban population both drive market expansion.  

•    For Instance: On Oct 29, 2021 - The Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare's study indicates that around 331.05 million tonnes of horticultural products were produced in India.
