Agricultural secretaries from Mexico, the United States and Canada agreed Monday to strengthen a regional integrated supply chain to facilitate trade in the region.
In a joint declaration released by the U.S Embassy in Mexico City, the secretaries said their common goal is to keep all three food and agricultural industries strong and competitive.
The document was signed by Mexican Agriculture Secretary Enrique Martínez, U.S. Agriculture Secreatry Tom Vilsack and Canada’s Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz. The joint declaration highlights the exponential growth of farming in North America.
“As partners, we understand the crucial importance of strengthening our integrated supply chain to facilitate trade across North America and around the world,” the document indicated.
They stressed that the growing global demand for quality, consistency and value generates new opportunities for agricultural sectors and therefore continue showing the world how trade and open borders support economic growth.
Hence the shared commitment to promote a fair, open and integrated market in North America, with rules established by free trade economics, reducing technical barriers to trade.
“Together, we are confident that we can build an even stronger future for the North American agricultural economy,” the officials stated.
