Canned fish, especially tuna, is a budget-friendly pantry staple facing potential price hikes due to new tariffs. Despite fluctuating levels proposed by the government, significant tariffs on imports from countries like Canada, Mexico, Indonesia, and Vietnam could increase canned fish prices sharply. Currently, a 10% tariff is in place, with discussions on higher rates, possibly up to 40%, for several countries. The tuna industry's complexities highlight the potential disruption to global food supply chains and the resulting impact on consumers' wallets, especially considering many tuna exporters could be significantly affected.
"While the actual level of the tariffs that the President is looking to impose has changed seemingly by the day, they are going to lead to higher prices at the grocery store on items from countries like Canada and Mexico."
"If the higher tariffs do come back as they were proposed in April, imports from some of these tuna producers could be facing tax rates as high as 40%."
