Red Gold Canned Tomatoes from Europe: A Symbol of Resilience in Times of Conflict
Italy has long been renowned for its high-quality canned tomatoes, whose export has been constantly increasing across the Middle East. These products are transported through well-established routes, typically moving from Italian ports to major Middle Eastern hubs via maritime shipping, often passing through key transit points such as the Suez Canal. From there, they reach Saudi Arabia, which relies heavily on imported food products.
In the context of escalating tensions, these transportation routes could face interruptions, raising concerns over food shortages. However, Italy's logistics infrastructure, including its deep-sea ports and established partnerships with regional distributors, ensures that the supply chain remains resilient. Maintaining these routes—or establishing alternative ones—can help ensure continuous supply, emphasizing the importance of stability in trade infrastructure as well as of consistency in providing stability in food supplies during crises.
'Our promotional campaign Red Gold from Europe, recently launched in Saudi Arabia and co-funded by the European Commission, aims to highlight that Italian canned tomatoes are versatile and economical, making them ideal for regional countries to maintain affordable, nutritious meals even amidst supply chain disruptions and food shortages. Their long shelf life and ease of storage mean they can be stockpiled as part of emergency preparedness plans—an essential strategy in conflict zones' said Giovanni De Angelis, ANICAV's – the Italian Association of Canned Vegetables Industries – Director General.
Italian canned tomatoes may seem like a humble commodity but their role in supporting regional resilience during times of conflict underscores how food supply chains are intertwined with geopolitics. Proactive diplomatic efforts and continued trade partnerships can turn these everyday items into symbols of stability and cooperation amid uncertainty.

Rating firms say US tariffs alone will not trigger EU sovereign downgrades
At a sector level, Moody's warned that 'the credit effects will be significant' for companies that export a lot to the US. (EPA Images pic) LONDON : The sharp increase in US trade tariffs on the EU will not trigger immediate sovereign rating cuts, but could compound existing pressures, Fitch and other agencies said today, while Moody's warned of the effect on exporting firms. One of Fitch's top sovereign analysts, Ed Parker, said the US' baseline tariff of 15% on imports from the EU was in line with assumptions the rating agency has had since March and therefore did not materially shift its economic forecasts. 'Nevertheless, the 15% rate is a huge increase relative to the 1.2% rate of last year,' he said. 'We don't expect the increase in the tariff rate to directly drive EU rating changes on its own, but it could compound existing credit pressures,' Parker told Reuters. Smaller European-based agency Scope Ratings and Morningstar DBRS echoed the view, with Scope's head of sovereign ratings, Alvise Lennkh-Yunus, saying the tariffs arrived 'against a backdrop of accumulating economic shocks'. At a sector level, Moody's warned that 'the credit effects will be significant' for companies that export a lot to the US, depend on complex global supply chains and have limited pricing power in their markets. That includes carmakers like Stellantis and Volkswagen, whose ratings Moody's recently downgraded. Large diversified European manufacturing companies like Siemens and ABB generate about 25% of their revenue in the US. However, they tend to follow local-for-local strategies, sourcing at least 80% of their procurement within the US and should be able to pass at least some of the tariff increases on to customers. Uncertainty still remains about key goods such as semiconductors and pharmaceuticals. The pharmaceutical sector amounts to 25% of all EU exports to the US, analysts estimate. The exemption of aircraft components meanwhile eases expected tariff-related pressures for Airbus and MTU Aero Engines, 'which reinforces our already positive outlook for the global aerospace and defence sector,' Moody's said. It also said the 15% rate had been broadly in line with expectations it laid out when it cut its euro zone economic growth forecast for the year to below 1% in May. It did not give an EU-wide sovereign view, although it said Ireland, which it rates at Aa3 and has a 'positive' outlook on, was most exposed with total value-added exports to the US accounting for around 8% of its GDP back in 2020.

Philips chops back US tariff bill
Shares in Philips jumped more than 10% during morning trading. (EPA Images pic) AMSTERDAM : Dutch medical equipment manufacturer Philips said today that the impact of US tariffs would be much less than it initially estimated, sending its share price surging. The company had originally estimated in April that US tariffs could cost it €250 million to €300 million this year after President Donald Trump unveiled a 20% tariff rate for goods from the EU. Brussels and Washington reached a deal over the weekend that will see goods from the EU face a baseline 15% levy when imported into the US. It said today it now expects between €150 million and €200 million impact from US tariffs this year. Chief executive Roy Jakobs said Philips updated 'the guidance because we have certainty now around what is happening between the EU and the US.' Shares in Philips jumped more than 10% during morning trading, while the Amsterdam market rose around 0.4% overall. The trade deal has come under widespread criticism in Europe as having been lopsided, saddling its manufacturers with a costly 15% rate with little in return from the US as certainty is a relative concept given Trump's propensity to change positions. Jakobs said that certainty 'is what we value in' in the deal, while acknowledging 'it's a painful additional cost we have to carry'. The company still targets a one to 3% increase in annual sales. Second quarter net profit fell by 47% to €240 million, but last year's performance was boosted by exceptional income from insurance payouts linked to long-running issues with its sleep apnoea machines. Sales slid by 2.8% to €4.3 billion, although they edged higher on a comparable basis that excludes currency changes. The company also noted orders rose by 6% on a comparable basis. The appreciation of the euro relative to the dollar and other currencies has been crimping the results of European companies as their revenues abroad result in fewer euros on the balance sheet. Long known for its light bulbs and television sets, the Dutch company has refocused its business towards medical equipment.
