Introduction
Saigon Fruits Company (SFC) is proud to be featured in Global Finance Magazine, where our CEO, Ignas Petrusis, was invited to provide expert insight on the growing impact of tariff volatility on global agri-food supply chains. The discussion highlights how businesses like ours navigate an increasingly complex international trade environment.
How the Global Finance Magazine SFC Feature Reflects Today’s Trade Reality
The Global Finance Magazine SFC feature highlights how Vietnam’s agri-food exporters are adapting to a new era of cost pressures, regulations, and shifting global demand.
The Context: Rising Tariff Pressures Worldwide
Global supply chains have entered a new era defined by fluctuating tariffs, shifting trade alliances, and evolving government protection policies. For the agri-food sector—already sensitive to logistics, seasonality, and perishability—these changes introduce additional layers of cost, uncertainty, and operational risk.
In the feature, “The Price of Protection: Inside the Global High-Stakes Response to Tariff Turmoil,” Global Finance examines how companies across industries adapt to fast-changing trade rules.
Our CEO’s Perspective
During the interview, CEO Ignas Petrusis shared how SFC approaches tariff challenges in a practical, forward-looking way:
Anticipating regulatory changes and building flexible contract structures
Diversifying sourcing and customer markets, especially across Asia and Europe
Strengthening logistics partnerships to reduce the impact of sudden cost spikes
Investing in value-added processing to remain competitive despite external pressures
His insights highlight SFC’s commitment to maintaining resilience and transparency, even as global conditions shift unexpectedly.
How Tariffs Influence the Agri-Food Sector
Tariff fluctuations can influence the industry in several ways:
Cost volatility: Direct import/export prices change rapidly.
Buyer uncertainty: Distributors and retailers adjust purchase behavior.
Shifts in sourcing strategies: Companies explore new supplier geographies.
Pressure on margins: Particularly significant in fresh fruit and processed ingredients.
For producers and exporters, these challenges require agility, data-driven decision-making, and long-term planning. SFC’s approach focuses on stability for partners, consistent quality, and smart risk management.

Despite disruptions, SFC continues expanding its export footprint across Vietnam, Europe, the Middle East, and emerging markets. Our strategy remains clear:
Build strong, long-term customer relationships
