It’s no secret that tariffs directly affect the price of imported goods, which can lead to higher consumer prices and alter trade dynamics and international relations. What may not be so apparent is how the protein industry would be hit particularly hard by the escalating tariff wars. The dwindling number of cattle – and small farms – in the U.S., as well as the consolidation of the protein production under four major corporations, is forcing smaller protein providers to think outside the box to remain competitive.
