Tariff on selected food imports by country income in 2020
Tariffs applied to imported food vary greatly depending on the country's income level and the food group. Broadly speaking, processed foods are the most heavily taxed. It is worth noting the high taxes applied to imports of fruits and vegetables in low-income countries (which in some cases reach up to ** percent); a fact that greatly hinders the maintenance of a healthy diet in these states.
