National Restaurant Association Statement on Removal of Tariffs on Food and Agricultural Products
The Executive Order aims to stabilize supply chains and reduce nearly 40% food cost increases over four years, while some country-specific tariffs remain in effect.
- Yesterday, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order removing tariffs on certain food and agricultural products, the administration said will ease cost pressures for restaurants and consumers.
- Rising food costs prompted relief as food costs rose nearly 40% over the past four years, and domestic sourcing limits due to season and climate pressure menus and prices.
- The trade change targets reciprocal tariffs imposed broadly across trading partners, while country-specific tariffs such as those on Brazil and India remain in place and continue raising costs.
- The industry spans more than 1 million outlets and 15.7 million workers, but operators still face significant cost challenges from labor, rent, swipe fees and utilities despite tariff relief, the National Restaurant Association said.
- The National Restaurant Association urged the President to consider further tariff relief for alcohol, supplies and equipment and pledged to work with 52 State Associations and policymakers.
