美國50%關稅重擊下 印度「狐果」絕處逢生 內需市場迎來爆炸性成長
美國對印度課徵50%重稅，重創超級食物「狐果」(Makhana)的出口。然而，印度國內需求卻在此時爆炸性成長，每年翻倍，為產業開闢出一條意想不到的生路。
一場貿易戰，竟意外點燃了超級食物的內需引擎。美國前總統川普對印度商品祭出50%的高額關稅，讓風靡全球的健康零食「狐果」（Makhana）對美出口一落千丈。然而，危機即是轉機，這場風暴正將狐果推向一個全新的舞台。
關稅風暴來襲
根據半島電視台報導，居住在美國丹佛的拉夫吉特·辛格表示，一包25克的狐果，價格已從2美元飆漲至4美元。美國最初對印度商品徵收25%關稅，後因印度進口俄羅斯石油，稅率被提高至50%。此舉導致印度狐果出口商對美銷售額銳減40%，對產業造成沉重打擊。
超級食物「狐果」解密
狐果，又稱蓮子爆米花，是芡歐鼠尾草（或稱睡蓮）種子的爆裂果仁，富含蛋白質、鈣質與抗氧化物。印度掌握了全球90%的產量，其中以比哈爾邦為主要產區。整個產業（含國內市場）的年產值約為36億盧比（約4000萬美元），而美國市場過去佔了其出口總額的半壁江山。
內需引爆新商機
儘管出口受挫，印度國內市場卻展現驚人韌性。自新冠疫情以來，由於健康意識抬頭，狐果的國內需求每年都翻倍成長。一位生產商的銷售額從2019年的540萬盧比（約6萬美元），暴增至2025年3月財年的4500萬盧比（約50萬美元）。同時，業者也積極開拓西班牙、南非等新市場。印度政府也順勢而為，宣布投入10億盧比（約1100萬美元）成立狐果委員會，以推動產業發展。
儘管國內市場潛力巨大，但該產業對貿易政策多變的單一出口市場仍有高度依賴，此為潛在風險。投資者應審慎評估供應鏈的脆弱性。
