The Federation of Hotels, Restaurants and Bars of the State of São Paulo (Fhoresp) evaluates that the United States tariff against Brazil, scheduled to take effect on the 1st, should be able to feed in restaurants, bars and cafeterias. 
According to the entity, the tariff will exert pressure on the domestic market about products considered to be Brazilian export cars, such as coffee, meat, fish and orange juice.
“These foods will have the entire production chain impacted. Coffee, for example, may lose up to 30% of its export production, which would cause up to 6% increase in the internal price. In a possible scenario of economic recession, meat [bovina e suína] And fish should also have the prices readjusted to the domestic market to cover production costs, ”explains the entity in a statement.
Fhoresp designs that the impacts on internal prices happen in the medium and the long deadlines on the out -of -home food sector. The estimate is an increase that can get to 10% in the Brazilian menu.
“We have to put all the scenarios at the table, so that Brazil understands what may come to come, even, an economic recession. In the medium and long term, the domestic market must suffer from impacts throughout the production chain, especially in agribusiness,” said the entity’s executive, Edson Pinto.
