The COVID-19 pandemic has paralyzed the global toilet paper supply chain and it is still vivid in people's minds. Now, President Trump's tariff measures are once again threatening supply stability. This is the opinion of Suzano SA, the world's largest exporter of pulp, which is the raw material for products such as toilet paper. The CEO of the company said in an interview that export tariffs have led to a decrease in Brazil's pulp exports to the United States. The company, based in Sao Paulo, is currently passing on the cost of tariffs to American buyers. Although it is still unclear how much impact the tariffs will have on the paper supply chain, the effects on the pulp industry are just the latest example of trade disputes threatening the normal supply of essential goods globally. Brazilian government data shows that in April, Brazil's exports of bleached hardwood pulp to the United States decreased by 20% compared to the same period last year.
