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.

North American Seed Testing Services Market hold more than 37.6% of the global revenue!

According to Cognitive Market Research, North America dominated the market in 2022 and accounted for a share of more than 37.6% of the global revenue due to several variables. A strong agricultural industry in the area and government programs to provide farmers with high-quality agricultural seed have increased demand for seed testing services. These are the main driving forces behind the North American region's global market expansion throughout the forecast. 

It is Anticipated that the United States Seed Testing Services Market would Expand at the Fastest Rate Over the Forecast Period

According to Cognitive Market Research, North America dominates the global market for seed testing due to the widespread application of stringent government rules on seed development and marketing. The expansion of the seed testing market sales in the United States during the projection period is attributed to increased investment by seed producers to meet domestic and worldwide demand for high-yielding seeds.

The Main Causes for the Fastest Growth of Seed Testing Services in the Asia-Pacific Region in the Upcoming Years

Growing agricultural production and many small-scale operators providing these services at affordable prices are expected to cause the Asia Pacific region to grow profitably throughout the forecast period. Purity, water, and germination tests are increasingly being outsourced by seed manufacturers, which promotes regional growth. In addition, regional demand for seed testing services is anticipated to increase over the next eight years due to government measures supporting organic farming practices.

Seed Testing Services Market Analysis

Type Segment Analysis

According to Cognitive Market Research, purity test is the item that is utilized the most frequently in the market for seed testing services. To ensure that undesired seeds don't cause your seed to lose value, it's crucial to test for seed purity. Purity testing of seeds ensures that seed lots are of high quality and that the Federal Seed Act's requirements for seed labeling are met. These are the primary factors influencing the Purity Test segment's growth in the global market during the forecast period.

The water test is the second-most used product. While the purity test rules the market, a water test is still necessary for some seed testing services, and one can check the moisture level of seeds with the water test. Insufficient germination and poor yields might result from seeds that are too moist. Due to this, the market for seed testing services is now using water tests more frequently. Companies coat seeds with water-soluble chemicals like detergent or soap to expand their surface area, improving how they absorb nutrients and up production by 20%.
