Canada Cuts Potato Exports to U.S. – Signs Billion Dollar Deal with Asia SHOCKING Trump

The decline in Canadian potato exports to the U.S., down 40% in Q2 2025, signals a shifting economic landscape between these surrounding countries. Over 140,000 tons of potatoes, enough to supply 17 million U.S. households, have actually stopped crossing the border, driven by a U.S. tariff hike to 35% on Canadian potatoes. This has increased costs by 8– 12 cents per pound, pressing market prices for a 50-pound bag from $22 to $28–$ 30. U.S. consumers face higher rates for fries, while restaurants change menus or minimize parts. Canadian processors like McCain downsize contracts, and farmers in PEI, New Brunswick, and Alberta cut planting by 15– 25%. On the other hand, Canada rotates to domestic markets and brand-new trade partners like Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia, backed by a $1.6 billion CAD offer. This shift supports domestic prices, supports local food programs, and reduces dependence on the U.S., where 92% of Canada's potato exports typically streamed. However, obstacles like Asian market logistics and dependence on big corporations continue. The potato trade disturbance shows wider supply chain fractures, with possible ramifications for meat, dairy, and grains. As U.S. input costs increase and consumers feel the pinch, this unassuming staple highlights a fraying North American trade structure, raising concerns about future financial stability.
