[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. Vast majority of our food is produced / grown here. Main exceptions are a lot of booze imports and then produce. But a sizable amount of the produce comes from Mexico which is exempt from the extra 10% tariffs and most of the rest comes from Latin America - 10% is not great but a lot of produce costs seem to vary by much more than that throughout the year. The only huge tariffs are from China. We import very little food from them. Agree with another pp that the main impact from that will be on the packaging and other industrial inputs involved in the factories that make processed food. There will only be food shortages if people start hoarding. [/quote] Wrong. Many of the subcomponents for food production and their transport come from China. For example, packaging, raw chemicals, harvesting and farming equipment. Products to enhance transportation and production. Sorry, but you don't have it all figured out.[/quote]
