Tariffs are turning chocolate logistics upside‑down — just ask MrBeast. The creator of Feastables says Trump’s new 20 %+ duties on manufacturing costs, stacked on a recent 10 % levy, make it “way cheaper” to produce his fair‑trade bars overseas, even though they’re designed in Greenville, NC and already partly made in Peru and the US. He calls the sudden price jump “pretty brutal” and warns it could be the nail in the coffin for smaller confectioners as the sweeping policy sparks talk of inflation and recession.
Would you follow your favourite bar abroad if that’s where affordability now lives?
