# EU tariffs to curb US corn imports, soy at lower risk for now

> Between July 1, 2024 and April 6, 2025, the EU imported 3.4 million metric tons of U.S. corn, up from 114,000 tons a year earlier. The United States rose to become the EU's No. 2 corn supplier behind Ukraine, passing Brazil. The report says new EU tariffs are expected to curb these U.S. corn imports, while soybeans face lower risk for now.

## Why it matters

EU tariffs on U.S. corn would redirect demand toward Ukraine and Brazil, weakening U.S. corn export sales to Europe. Soybeans are less exposed, so their price impact is limited.
