Agustín Vargas

Agustín Vargas is the owner and manager of the San Agustín beneficiadora, a company involved in the processing and export of castaña (Brazil nuts) in Bolivia. Recently, he has expressed concerns about the potential impact of new U.S. tariffs imposed under the administration of Donald Trump, which could affect the export market for Bolivian castaña. Vargas noted that while existing contracts are secured, future sales may suffer due to the increased costs and uncertainty surrounding buyer behavior in the U.S. market.
