ASSOBIBE: tra dazi, incertezze e rincari, necessario rinvio della Sugar Tax

🍹 Italian non-alcoholic beverage sector faces uncertainty due to inflation, raw material and energy costs, and new US tariffs. Exports, crucial for the industry, grew by 117% in the last decade and 20% in the last two years, with the US being the primary market. Nomisma highlights beverages absorb 15% of Italy's food industry turnover and 21% of export. Sugar tax, effective July 1, 2025, may cut sales by 16%, reduce VAT revenue by €275 million, and risk over 5,000 jobs. Beverage consumption in Italy is among the lowest in Europe (54 liters/year); sugar drinks consumption fell by 27% in the past decade. Despite government bodies' positive stance, no policy changes yet against the impending tax.

Dazi e caffè: il mercato statunitense mostra le prime incrinature

💰 Starting on April 5, 2025, the U.S. will impose a 10% tariff on coffee imports from Brazil and Colombia, affecting coffee roasters and leading to higher costs for operators and consumers. In 2024, 60% of the 1.36 million tons of imported U.S. coffee came from these countries, with high-quality arabica making up over 90% of U.S. coffee imports. The average price for a 16-ounce latte has surpassed $5, with some drinks priced over $6. A 46% tariff on robusta coffee from Vietnam could increase costs by $2,500 per ton.
