The looming threat of tariffs on Mexican imports has created turbulence for consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers, compelling them to re-evaluate their supply chain strategies and prepare for potential disruptions. As reported by The Food Institute (source), the uncertainty surrounding U.S.-Mexico trade policies is prompting companies to stockpile goods, diversify supplier networks, and reassess promotional plans to mitigate financial risks.
President Trump’s shifting stance on trade tariffs has led to widespread contingency planning across the food and beverage sector. Many businesses are seeking alternative suppliers outside of Mexico to reduce dependence on potentially tariff-laden goods. Others are focusing on price adjustments and inventory management to counteract any cost surges.
