This is just Trump screwing over the MAGA-supporting farmers and allowing for their consolidation by the big Ag corporations.
The multinational agricultural capital aren’t losing anything. Brazil is also barely gaining anything, for apart from its farming sector, almost the entirety of its supply chain has been dominated by foreign multinational conglomerates:
In Brazil, 91.8% of the soybean cultivated is transgenic and the German multinational Bayer controls 90% of Brazil’s transgenic market share. Although Brazil has companies that dominate soy genetics, transgenics are controlled by multinationals that receive royalties from Brazilian companies licensed to use their technology in seed production. Domestic seed producers such as Tropical Melhoramento and Genética (TMG) who have created their own germplasm improvement programmes and pay royalties for the use of transgenics, hold 25% of the market share. Studies show that multinationals that own the characteristics transferred to local germplasm make about 65% of the profit from the final price of soybeans, while the other 35% of the profit is shared between the germplasm developers and seed multipliers [45]. Thus, in the segment of the chain related to the production of seeds, domestic capital would be equivalent to only 8.7% for the agricultural year of 2019/2020 (35% of 25% market share), as described in Table 2.
The machinery sector is a worldwide oligopoly as a result of mergers and acquisitions headed by the following major international groups: John Deere, CNH (holder of the brands Case and New Holland), and AGCO (holder of the brands Massey Ferguson and Valtra). In Brazil, the three companies together control 99.6% of tractor sales and 100% of combine harvester sales [39]. The national capital share for the agricultural year of 2019/2020 was estimated at 0.2% when including the Brazilian company Agrale, see Table 2, which produces tractors rarely used for soybean due to their relatively small size.
…
The results reveal that the market share held by Brazilian groups as a whole dropped between 2015 and 2020. In this time span, there were changes in the share held by domestic companies in the segments of seeds (from 16.5 to 8.7%), fertilisers (from 33.5 to 19.2%), pesticides (from 4.3 to 5.8%), machinery (from 1.9 to 0.2%), and in the trading sector (from 30.7 to 16.1%). Proportionally, the market share held by Brazilian groups as a whole dropped from 40% in 2015 to 34.6% in 2019/2020. The share of domestic groups in the capital and technology intensive sectors (excluding the farming sector) dropped from 12.5% in 2015 to 7.1% in 2020.
In other words, the petty bourgeois farmers fell for Trump’s rhetoric, when it should have been obvious that he would listen to the lobbyists from big Ag corpos than the peasants he despises.
Said it before and I’ll say it again, do chuds even like other chuds?
Always thought it was the AG corps gaining i this
the peasants
Also these farmers are not like peasants; if they are, they’re like kulaks. American “farmers” are wealthy bourgeois landowners who do little to no farm labor themselves.
Take their land and give it to the migrant workers for collective farms.
You could always….oh I don’t know….sell them here?
Tofu going for 10¢ a pound until Americans learn to eat it
Aldi got organic tofu at $1.40 you better believe I’m beancurdpilled
Oh no! The consequences of their actions!
I think this is just proof how inept our leadership is. The former neoliberal government was smart enough to give enough small handouts to maintain control. They bought all the milk that was produced, no questions asked, to keep dairy farms in operation. They turned that milk to cheese and practically handed it out for free. Even Reagan knew that you had to do some handouts to keep the people at bay!

Reagan vs Trump
Reagan: “Here’s some cheese. Happy?”
Trump: “If you complain about me - I don’t even need a trial. I can put you in the worst jail.”
I don’t understand what they expected to happen. Do people like this honestly think that the tariffs just mean China is going to pay twice as much or three times as much for the same amount, instead of just buying cheaper soybeans elsewhere?
I know neoliberal economics despises the labour theory of value, but I didn’t think it also despised very basic ideas like supply and demand as well.

Yes literally. The average American has no idea what words mean
I know Americans consider themselves the centre of the universe, but it really does feel like a lot of people in America just think that people in other countries just stand around doing nothing until AMERICA interacts with them.
Protagonist-brained egotists. This is why we need to ban Americans from consuming any and all media, especially Marvel.
Oh no! The consequences of y’alls actions!
