Mexico-US-Canada Agri-Food Relationship: A Growing Bet
Just last year, agri-food trade between Mexico and the United States exceeded $69 billion, with national exports totaling $42.63 billion.
Trade liberalization with the United States and Canada has been a key factor in boosting the growth and development of the Mexican agri-food sector. Since the inception of NAFTA, now USMCA, the region has become one of the most dynamic and complementary in the world, with a market of 493 million people.

The three nations have promoted free trade for agricultural products with equal conditions in commercial disputes and consultation mechanisms, giving North America significant regional strength.
Recent statements by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador about pausing relations with the embassies of the United States and Canada, as well as the background that led to this situation and the reactions of diplomats, should be viewed within a context that favors cordiality.
The commercial relationship between the three countries, as well as technical-scientific cooperation, should remain separate from any political differences. López Obrador himself has emphasized the good relationship that exists between the peoples.

Just last year, agri-food trade between Mexico and the United States exceeded $69 billion, with national exports totaling $42.63 billion, led primarily by beer, tequila, berries, tomatoes, avocados, and beef.

To Canada, Mexico sells over $2.8 billion, with berries, peppers, avocados, tomatoes, and tequila leading the way.
Thus, this market is poised to continue growing in an integrated and complementary manner, given the differences between the agri-food systems of the three countries, and to become a competitive bloc capable of meeting the world's food needs, especially in grains, dairy products, and vegetables.
Producers Take Care of Water and Soil Resources
Here’s an interesting fact: Mexico now has over 700,000 producers trained in the responsible management of pollinators and water and soil resources in response to the impacts of climate change.
This was announced during the closing activities of the third Inter-American Congress on Water, Soil, and Agrobiodiversity (CIASA), organized by the Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development.
There, the head of the department, Víctor Villalobos Arámbula, highlighted that in the current administration, for the first time, the importance of soil resources in agricultural activity was emphasized, and programs and strategies were implemented with a vision of productivity, sustainability, and inclusion.
He emphasized that the public policy of the Secretariat has renewed the principle and importance of soil in agricultural activity, with actions such as the National Strategy for Sustainable Agriculture (ENASAS), the National Strategy for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Pollinators (ENCUSP), and the Strategic Climate Change Plan for the Agri-Food Sector (PLECCA), which includes the implementation of adaptation measures in agriculture.
