If you were planning on having fresh guacamole as part of the spread for your Super Bowl party, you might want to head to the grocery store before Tuesday. The reason? The looming tit-for-tat trade war between the U.S. and Mexico, Canada and China., prompting the leaders of both countries to say they would impose their own surtaxes on U.S.-made goods sold in their countries.
While most of those avocados have presumably already made it across the border, shoppers looking for the freshest avocados may be holding off on purchasing them until closer to the game — and possibly paying higher prices. Most economists say tariffs are passed on to consumers as higher prices. The paper said the two states consume the most avocados, with California importing almost $602 million worth of Mexican avocados from mid-2023 to mid-2024 and Texas bringing in $285 million worth.
