A trade dispute between the United States and Mexico has resulted in ongoing consultations through the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. International trade consultant Kenneth Smith Ramos, who is Mexico’s former chief negotiator for the North American Trade Agreement, says the trade relationship between the two countries is important for their ag sectors. During the USMEF meeting in Minneapolis, Smith Ramos pointed to Mexico’s ban on biotech corn imports. “If there is no resolution, there could be a dispute panel called. The problem is that by issuing this decree that it could be the start of a slippery slope of Mexico issuing stricter regulations.”
