(If you missed Part 1, we discussed how tariffs and protectionist policies are shaping opportunities in light manufacturing—read it here.)
In our previous post, we examined how tariffs and protectionist policies under the Trump administration are designed to bring more manufacturing back to U.S. soil. We highlighted light manufacturing as an accessible investment opportunity thanks to its lower capital requirements, adaptability to urban spaces, and broad applications across industries such as food and clothing production.
Today, we explore additional sectors aligned with the administration’s policies—specifically those that promote U.S. self-sufficiency and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains. Read below about the industries likely to benefit from both market demand and supportive policy in the years ahead.
1. Producing in the U.S.: Agriculture, Livestock, and More
At the heart of the Trump administration’s economic vision is the goal of reducing America’s dependence on foreign goods and supply chains. This extends well beyond manufacturing to encompass agriculture, livestock, and other forms of domestic production. Investors looking for growth opportunities should seriously consider ventures that support or expand U.S.-based production.
From growing specialty crops (such as organic produce, berries, and nuts) to raising cattle and poultry farming, agricultural businesses that reduce imports and boost domestic supply will likely receive both market and political support. Even niche farming, like cultivating flowers or producing honey and specialty herbs, aligns with the administration’s focus on American-made and American-grown goods.
In particular, activities that strengthen the domestic food supply—such as specialty farming, livestock operations, aquaculture, and streamlined pork production and pork processing—are expected to receive favorable attention and long-term support. These ventures not only reduce America’s reliance on foreign food imports but also contribute directly to national food security, a priority that resonates strongly with Trump’s America-first agenda.
Other promising areas include:
- Agri-tech businesses providing innovations in farming efficiency and sustainability.
- Timber and lumber production, reducing dependence on foreign wood and building materials.
Any operation that contributes to self-sufficiency and minimizes trade deficits with global competitors—especially China—could flourish under policies encouraging domestic resilience.
2. Real Estate: A Safe Bet in a Familiar Terrain
Real estate has long been a cornerstone of Donald Trump’s personal and professional identity. Given his history and interests, it is highly unlikely that policies detrimental to real estate investors will emerge under his leadership. On the contrary, pro-growth and pro-development stances are expected to continue, if not expand.
Opportunities abound in:
- Multifamily residential developments, particularly in fast-growing suburban and exurban areas.
- Commercial real estate geared toward light industrial spaces, warehousing, and logistics hubs—complementing the domestic production boom.
- Renovation and redevelopment projects in opportunity zones, which could retain or regain favorable tax treatments.
- Short-term rental properties and luxury housing, sectors that have historically enjoyed stable demand and profitability.
Furthermore, any potential tax incentives or deregulation efforts in construction, land use, or financing would further stimulate growth across the real estate sector.
