Luca Balallai

Luca Balallai is the director of exports at GrandValle, a leading producer and exporter of mangoes and grapes from the Vale do São Francisco in Brazil. He is currently navigating the challenges posed by a potential 50% tariff on Brazilian products announced by the Trump administration, which threatens to cause significant financial losses for the company, estimated at up to $3 million. Balallai is concerned about the lack of alternative markets to absorb the company's concentrated production and is actively negotiating with American clients to adjust prices in light of the tariffs.
