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.

IoT for Fisheries and Aquaculture Farm Type Segment Analysis

The RAS-based aquaculture segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast period.

The Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. RAS system allows the reusing and recycling of water after biological and mechanical filtration. Several advantages associated with RAS system are gaining momentum in segment growth. The major advantage of RAS system is easy to maintain and requires very less water quantity as compared to conventional systems. Another advantage of RAS is it requires less surface due to higher stocking density. In addition, it controls the water temperature which allows an optimum level of production followed by high product turnover.
