Officials from the United States, Mexico and Canada are meeting this week in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, as part of the Tri-National Agricultural Accord. In response to this meeting, Agricultural Coalition for USMCA spokesperson Bryan Goodman released the following statement:
“Trade between the U.S., Mexico and Canada is extremely important to the U.S. agricultural sector, rural America and the U.S. economy. In fact, agricultural and seafood exports to Canada and Mexico accounted for $149 billion in economic output in the United States in 2024. This kind of economic impact would not be possible if not for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
”This week’s accord will provide all involved with the opportunity to move beyond select disagreements, listen to each other, reflect on the incredible benefits of this agreement and identify opportunities for enhanced cooperation. We hope the conversations at the accord will contribute to the renewal of the agreement for the benefit of producers and consumers in all three countries.”
