The US meat industry praises the new US-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement


The Meat Institute considers that this new deal is an important step in keeping the duty-free access to two of the U.S. meat and poultry industry’s most critical foreign markets.

“Under NAFTA, U.S. meat and poultry exports to Mexico and Canada have thrived as import duties were removed and non-scientific barriers to trade have been significantly reduced,” said Meat Institute President and CEO Julie Anna Potts. “The North American market for the meat and poultry industry is nearly completely integrated and is essential to its long-term viability. The agreement submitted today to Congress safeguards the core tenets of NAFTA that have strengthened the U.S. meat sector and overall economy.”a
