It is the situation that is facing one of the warmest smaller companies today, $ 516 million (vertebrae) Vita-Coco New York, a leading coconut water producer. His largest source of coconuts, he has Jeretophore was Brazil, in a country that was now associated with 50% tariffs, in the courtesy of Trump administration. His six other sources for coconuts are not much better: Philippines (Tariff: 19%), Malaysia (25%), Vietnam (32%), Indonesia (32%) and Sri Lanka (46%).

“Brazil is for us for us,” he insists that he insists co-founder and executive chairman Michael Kirban. “We started working on the moving our offer of Brazil, which is historically going to the United States, to deliver Europe and Canada, a few weeks ago.” The main source of offer for Europe, meanwhile – Philippines, Sri Lanka and Malaysia will be transferred to the United States “It’s something we can withdraw the trigger at really fast,” reasons for Kirban, seemingly worried about high tariffs in his alternative countries.
It continues: “By reducing the rates for the oceans and prices (increases) we took earlier this year to mitigate the initial 10% basic tariff, we think we are in a good position.” Co-founder Kirban says that it does not expect any additional pre-purchase in the coming months, but it can be desirable thinking if Trump does not give up on its sharp tariffs on tropical countries.
Here’s what the General Manager of Vita Rooper said to have a CAP week a few weeks ago: “Our planned price increase in the American American company to cover inflation costs Pressure products produced Approximately 7% increase on American food shops toward circle during a quarter. “However, increasing the price price does not include another recent price growth in the current quarter, which the management of Vita Coco refuses to provide data on merit.
For now, Wall Street puts its faith in Vita Coco Management.

At the war war company, 30. July, CFO Corey Baker noted that Vita Coco implements a formal request for tariffs with US US trade officials. If this is not approved, management is basically said to endanger the shareholders: “If (50% of the Brazilian tariff) was made, in the end we should go through price rise,” says Baker. “Even under the worst scenarios, we believe we could go through the price if necessary during the stake.”
At Wall Street, six of the ten analysts covering Vita Coco rating it “Buy”, while the rest of the four are “holding” assessments, often interpreted as “selling” investors. Short sellers started rounding their supplies.

Although Vita Coco publicly rejected the contents of “Inaccuracy and Wrong Characteristics,” subsequent public statements and financial results support Ningi’s allegations of the lost COMBUCCO contract on Costco.

Ever is an optimist, Kirban is unpleased. “Sales continues to act really nicely. So I think consumers are ready to pay,” Kirban says, which refers to his tariff connection in connection with pricing. “This is a product that comes from a tree.
