Trump Rolls Back Brazilian Food Tariffs, Boosting Trade and Lowering Consumer Prices for Coffee, Beef, and Tropical Produce
Listeners, welcome to the latest edition of Brazil Tariff News and Tracker. Today’s episode brings you pivotal updates on U.S. trade policy, major headlines from Washington and Brasília, and what they mean for Brazilian exports and American importers.
On November 20th, President Donald Trump signed an executive order removing tariffs on a significant range of food products produced in Brazil. These tariffs, including a steep 40% duty placed earlier this year, had caused substantial disruption in trade flows, particularly for agricultural goods like beef, coffee, and tropical fruit. The executive order comes after weeks of negotiations between the Trump administration and Brazilian officials, as well as mounting pressure from American industry groups and rising consumer prices. Trump explained that the decision was influenced by ongoing talks with Brazil’s president and recommendations from his own advisors, aiming to address the root concerns that led to these tariffs in the first place. The rollback is being hailed by Brazil as significant progress, but the country is already pressing for additional exemptions in other agricultural categories.
For context, according to the White House fact sheet published with the order, tariffs on consumer staples such as coffee, fruit, and beef have either been lifted or sharply reduced. Just last week, another executive action exempted key agricultural products not commonly grown in the U.S. from the reciprocal tariff regime. This immediate relief is now rippling through supply chains. Prior to the rollback, the tariff on Brazilian beef stood at 26.4% for the remainder of 2025, and coffee faced the now-scrapped 40% surcharge.
Fresh Cup Magazine reports that the removal of those tariffs has brought a swift response: thousands of bags of Brazilian coffee that had been sitting idle in U.S. warehouses are now flowing to American roasters. The National Coffee Association called the measure a win for consumers and the wider U.S. economy, noting that tariff-free trade should help alleviate some cost-of-living pressures. WION News points out that American retail coffee prices had soared by 40% this September due to the tariff chaos, but coffee futures fell sharply after Thursday’s move. Arabica futures dropped to $3.59 per pound, a 4.6% decline, while robusta saw a similar percentage drop.
Brazilian exporters of ginger, papaya, and other produce report relief and hope to recover profits lost to the earlier tariffs. As Andrés Ocampo of HLB Specialties told FreshPlaza, the tariff change allows Brazilian growers to offer more competitive prices while U.S. buyers can maintain supply and quality, especially heading into the critical holiday demand.
Listeners should be aware that, despite this breakthrough, the Trump administration continues to review and adjust tariffs across a wide array of imports. The present landscape is fluid, and fresh negotiations with trading partners are ongoing, so expect further headlines as Washington and Brasília set the tone for 2026.
