In the heart of Greece’s olive groves, producer Konstantinos Papadopoulos is navigating the fallout of U.S. President Trump’s proposed 30% tariff on European goods.⁣
⁣
It threatens to slash his U.S. sales by 40%. ⁣
⁣
Greece is the fifth-largest olive oil exporter to the U.S., shipping 8,000-10,000 tonnes ever year. The industry faces a pivotal shift as producers like Papadopoulos swiftly pivot to new markets in Brazil and Australia.⁣
⁣
The tariff’s ripple effect extends beyond Greece, impacting top European olive oil exporters like Spain, Italy, and Portugal, as well as industries from wine to automobiles. ⁣
⁣
For Papadopoulos, whose family exported 350 tonnes to the U.S. in 2024, the lesson is clear: diversify or risk collapse. His proactive deals with new buyers highlight the resilience of Greek producers amid economic uncertainty, as they adapt to protect an industry rooted in centuries-old olive groves.⁣
