CHICAGO, April 1 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to announce 2014 tariffs on most goods imported into the United States on Wednesday, after previously imposing steep duties on autos, steel and aluminum and goods from China, Mexico and Canada.
The measures triggered retaliation and threats of further countermeasures by major importers of U.S. agricultural products and caused wild swings in commodity markets.
Economists said U.S. consumers could see prices rise on foods ranging from meat and dairy to avocados and fresh fruits and vegetables as a result of the tariffs.
Retaliation from China, Canada and Mexico would hurt the US$191 billion agricultural export sector. They are the top three markets for American agricultural products and will import a total of US$191 billion worth of US agricultural and related products in 2024.
Retaliatory tariffs during Trump's first term resulted in an estimated $15T27 billion in losses in U.S. agricultural exports, including $15T25.7 billion in sales to China, according to Rabobank analysts.
U.S. AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS
Soybeans, the top U.S. agricultural export by value, as well as corn, wheat and meat exports, are vulnerable to retaliatory tariffs.

Total 2024 exports, by value, increased by 6% from the previous year, as higher shipments to top importers Mexico, Japan, Colombia and South Korea offset an 80% decline in exports to China, due to competition from other global suppliers.
