Agricultural organizations across America are closely monitoring upcoming trade discussions as the United States, Mexico, and Canada prepare to negotiate renewal of their trilateral commerce agreement. Tony Rice, who serves as senior director of trade policy for the National Milk Producers Federation, emphasized the critical importance of the USMCA for America’s dairy sector and export operations.

Rice highlighted the significance of the U.S. dairy industry’s relationship with its North American neighbors, noting their status as top export destinations. “They’re number one and two, respectively, and the USMCA agreement has brought a tremendous number of benefits in growing our exports to Mexico, and simultaneously to Canada, while servicing the demand in those two markets,” he said.
