Swiss cheesemakers try to fill hole in sales from US tariffs

U.S. tariffs (10% last year, 12.5% this year) have dented demand for Swiss Gruyere — the U.S. used to account for about 13% of sales.
Alpine cheesemakers trimmed production by roughly 5% to avoid a stock glut and keep prices stable, a move that’s squeezed farmers.
Traders and producers are hunting for new markets worldwide, but say the U.S. market’s buying power can’t be replaced overnight.
