Grocery Shoppers Will Feel the Tariffs First in Produce
Briefly

The Trump administration's new tariffs are set to impact grocery prices significantly before April ends. Analysts predict that items in the produce aisle will see small price increases due to new 10% tariffs on imports such as bananas and grapes. The seafood section may face even steeper increases, particularly with shrimp imports facing hefty tariffs of 46% from Vietnam. Additionally, consumers can expect rising prices on staples like sugar and coffee, as tariffs drive costs up, potentially increasing coffee prices by 10% to 35%.
