  By Will Cavan For DMI MEFIA / AGRIMUNDO.tv October 05, 2025 How else could anyone explain the alignment that has taken place in the mango market for Brazilian exporters ??? After being slapped by a ludicrous tariff of 50% on mangoes from Brazil, everyone was projecting an unsustainable mango season and virtually impossible to access the USA market. Somehow defying all of the naysayers, the impossible happened!!! The USA market has sustained an 11.00 dollar market. Do, Brazil started shipping and shipping, so much so that Brazil has doubled its exports to USA compared to last season!!  All the while, maintaining a price making the 50% tariff. How did this happen??? Well, for starters, Mexico ended their exports earlier than normal as volume dropped dramatically due to heavy rains and quality issues for a second year in a row, Secondly and most important, Ecuador , the main competitor with Brazil in the September to December window has been setback by over 90% of its normal vo...

  October 02, 2025 The Free Traders Have It Backwards: America Doesn't Need the World for Quality The next time you order  a pint of hazy double IPA , you can thank the diversity, dynamism, and competitiveness of the American economy.

  Between jokes that the US now has a ‘volunteer’ military (troops still show up but risk missing a paycheck), and assurances the commissary is still in fact open, our big question remains —  should folks outside the US care about another shutdown? Let’s answer that by timeframe, shall we? Most shutdowns have only lasted… 🤏  Just a few days If we see a repeat of that, the international impact might be pretty limited… Embassies and consulates  remain open. Diplomats keep working, but stuff deemed non-essential gets paused (think cultural events and official LinkedIn updates — we definitely endorse declaring LinkedIn non-essential btw).  Most immigration services  run on a fee-based structure with support from the above diplomats, with as little as 1% of  US Citizenship and Immigration Services  workers hit by shutdown furloughs. So any impacts here  should  be limited. The markets  don’t seem to be too bothered either, instead ...
