Revisiting NAFTA: Implications for U.S. Agricultural Markets

Revisiting NAFTA: Implications for U.S. Agricultural Markets | L'ECHO DEMETER | Scoop.it
In recent months, a lot of attention has been given to the importance of trade between the United States, Mexico and Canada since the Trump Administration began talking about potentially renegotiating NAFTA.

We intend to explore the agreement’s impact on U.S. agriculture in a series of articles providing a commodity-by-commodity analysis of the impact of NAFTA on trade flows. We will begin this NAFTA series by reviewing the trade in all agricultural commodities.
