Tariff Impact and Supply Chain Decisions
Recent United States tariff adjustments have notably altered the sourcing landscape, prompting strategic shifts among caviar distributors and producers. Companies have revisited procurement, seeking tariff-favored supply jurisdictions and investing in local processing to optimize costs and reduce risk exposure. Diversification of supply chain pathways and contracts has become standard, while risk management strategies increasingly account for tariff volatility and its effect on pricing and operational flexibility.
