Swiss cheesemakers try to fill hole in sales from US tariffs

Swiss cheesemakers are currently attempting to compensate for a significant drop in sales resulting from US tariffs on Gruyere cheese. Last year, the US imposed a 10% tariff, which has since increased to 12.5% this year. This escalation has caused demand to plunge sharply within one of the most critical export markets for Alpine farmers, forcing producers to seek alternative ways to fill the financial gap created by these trade barriers.
