Tariffs And Its Impact
Tariffs have been a hot topic on the global market since the new Administration came into power in the U.S.A. As an exporter, and for our customers, the questions raised by this issue have been multiple, changing, and not totally clear as to how this would all play out on the global marketplace.
Things are beginning to come into focus and, so far, for our Company and our customers that import products from us, it appears the end results should be favorable. Not everyone will agree with that, but from our vantage point, the situation should result in less cost to our customers when it comes to their imports.
As an exporter, there have been many markets where it had been difficult for us to offer cost-competitive products to our customers as these customers have had to deal with high tariffs in their home markets placed on US produced products. Now, for many of these markets and customers, the tariffs on US products have been reduced making our products more cost competitive.
We will continue to monitor the situation as it has been very fluid, but most markets have been responsive to the current US Administration and are willing to work with it to make trade more fair than it has been in decades.

Demand for peanut butter, along with the depressed peanut inventory continues to drive prices higher.
A depressed peanut inventory, along with a worldwide increased demand for peanut butter, plus increased aflatoxin levels drives peanut butter pricing higher, especially for eu products.
The worldwide peanut crop has taken a beating over the past few years, from the reduced production in China, along with an increased demand in that market, has put pressure on the inventory in the USA and Argentina.
Adverse weather in Argentina during the harvest period reduced availability of product from that market, while drought conditions in the USA hurt its inventory.
The result of the negative crop production in those three markets, along with the increased demand for peanut butter and peanut oil, is driving prices higher for all markets.
The EU is feeling the impact on peanut butter pricing because of the smaller inventory, plus because of its required limitations on the level of Aflatoxin allowed in the product.
