Nestle SA’s Mexico chief said the company may adjust its supply chains and export strategies if U.S. President-elect Donald Trump imposes new taxes on products made south of the border. The Swiss food company, which gets the Nescafé Clásico coffee popular in Hispanic communities in the U.S. from the Mexican states of Veracruz and Chiapas, could buy from elsewhere in Latin America or focus its exports on nations other than the U.S. to avoid an increase in duties, Marcelo Melchior said in an interview Monday. Nestle is pushing forward with the rest of a $1 billion investment, already about 80 percent complete, to expand production and distribution in Mexico. While it will come up with strategies to deal with new trade rules if they become reality, the uncertainty surrounding which campaign promises Trump will actually pursue means it’s too early to overhaul existing processes, Melchior said. “If they place a tariff, and it’s no longer competitive to export to the U.S., I won’t export to the U.S. or I’ll find another type of product that I can export to the U.S.,” Melchior said on the sidelines of the Mexico Business Summit in Puebla. “I need to see once there’s certainty about where things are going. For now, it’s just gossip, and I’m not going to act on that.” Trump has said he’ll end or renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, which phased out most tariffs between the U.S. and Mexico over the past two decades and has proven crucial to the nation’s emergence as a manufacturing powerhouse. Mexico’s economy minister, Ildefonso Guajardo, said at the business summit on Sunday that he thinks Trump will attempt to renegotiate Nafta rather than pull out of it, and that Mexico is open to “modernizing” the accord. Exports represent only 10 percent of Nestle Mexico’s production, Melchior said, meaning the company is better insulated from potential taxes than many companies that depend on the U.S. for a larger percentage of their business.
