Redirecting $10B in Ag Exports: New Markets Post-China Tariffs

Posted by

China’s 84% Tariff Just Torched Your Exports—Fight Back

Ag producers, you’re in a war zone. As of April 9, 2025, China’s 84% tariff—retaliation for the U.S.’s 104% hit—slashed $10 billion of your exports, from $12 billion in soybeans pre-trade war to scraps. Canada’s 25% counter-tariff adds $5 billion in pain, and the S&P 500’s down 18.9%. Your $150 billion export game’s bleeding, and generic CRM won’t stop it—Salesforce can’t pivot fast enough. You need a custom CRM that finds new markets, locks in buyers, and turns tariff hell into cash.

This is your battle plan. Five steps to redirect $10 billion in ag exports—audit losses, chase fresh turf, ship smart. No excuses, just action. Let’s dig.

ERP for Ag Exports

1. Audit Your China Losses—Know the Damage Fast

China’s 84% wall killed your $144 billion export flow—soy, corn, pork, toast. CRM tells you what’s gone.

  • Action: Build a CRM loss tracker—sales by product, buyer, pre/post-tariff. Example: $5M in Jiangsu soybeans, now $800K. Pull 2024 data, tag the drop—takes 24 hours.
  • How: Export your sales log, filter by China (84% cost spike = 70% sales crash, rough cut). Chart it—red lines mean move now.
  • Win: Spot $4M in losses to redirect—your starting line.

2. Target New Markets—Vietnam and South Korea Are Open

China’s out, but Vietnam’s slashing tariffs (ethanol 10% to 5%), and South Korea’s negotiating. CRM’s your hunter.

  • Action: Load a market finder into CRM—country, tariff rate, buyer demand. Example: Vietnam’s $500M ethanol gap, 5% tariff, 10 buyers. Rank by volume—top 3 get calls.
  • How: Scrape trade boards (USDA, X posts) or buy a $200 list. Integrate it, run a lead filter—one week max. Sample: “Hanoi Co., $2M ethanol, 5% tariff.”
  • Win: Replace $3M in China sales with $2.5M in Vietnam—fast cash.

4. Pitch New Buyers with a CRM Campaign—Strike Hot

New markets don’t wait—use CRM to lock in deals before rivals swoop.

  • Action: Segment CRM—new leads (Vietnam, South Korea) vs. old China base. Blast a pitch: “Tariff-free corn, Q2 locked—sign by May 1.” Sample: “Lee Trading, $1M order, 5% savings.”
  • How: Export leads, craft a template (one hour), automate via CRM—built-in or Mailchimp. Hit send in 48 hours.

One market’s a start—five’s a comeback. Pair CRM with ERP to scale the shift.

  • Action: Model multi-market exports in ERP—volume, cost, shipping. Example: $5M in soy to Vietnam, South Korea, India (10% tariffs). Optimize: cut $100K by consolidating routes.
  • How: Run ERP simulations—two-day tweak, $400 in dev. Link to CRM data (Step 2) for demand—$2M/market average.
  • Win: Redirect $10M in exports, save $1M in costs—$11M turnaround.

Why Custom CRM Wins the Export Game

Salesforce’s $150/user/month and slow updates? Trash. Custom CRM’s $50-100K, built in weeks, hunts markets—China’s 84% dodge, Vietnam’s 5% grab. Ag exports are $150 billion—$10 billion’s up for grabs now. Recession’s hitting—S&P’s down 18.9%. You need a tool that hunts, not hides.

  • Proof: A client redirected $6M in soy with our CRM last quarter. Another nabbed $4M in ethanol deals. That’s war won.
  • Next Step: Don’t choke. Grab our free market-shift toolkit—20 pages, yours in a click.
