U.S. President Donald Trump's recent 50% tariffs on Brazilian exports have raised concerns among acai producers in Brazil, particularly in the state of Para, which supplies about 90% of the acai consumed in the U.S. This economic shift may lead to a surplus of acai berries locally, causing prices to plummet and affecting both producers and American consumers. The tariffs are linked to former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's legal troubles, and as many acai exporters face decreased demand from U.S. importers, the industry’s future hangs in the balance.
