Overview

• MrBeast announced that Trump's tariffs, which impose over 20% charges on imported inputs like cocoa, make it significantly cheaper to produce Feastables outside the U.S.
• Feastables, known for its ethical sourcing and fair trade practices, already faced high production costs, which are now further exacerbated by the tariffs.
• The tariffs, part of Trump's trade policy aimed at reshoring manufacturing, are prompting businesses like Feastables to explore international supply chains, including in West Africa.
• MrBeast expressed concern that these tariffs could severely impact small businesses, calling them a potential 'nail in the coffin' for some companies.
• Feastables currently manufactures in the U.S. and Peru but is now planning to shift more production abroad to mitigate rising costs under the new tariff regime.
