By Erick Erickson Verified| Northern Virginia Daily Verified We don't grow much coffee within the United States. Only Hawaii and Puerto Rico are really capable of it and even if we started up tomorrow, American consumers demand so much that we would still need to import it. Tariffs will cause the price of coffee to go up. Profit margins are so low in the coffee business, most of the 10% tariff will go to price increases. We don't produce bananas in the United States because our climate is not sufficient to grow bananas. They must still be imported.
