NCFA, along with leaders in Canada’s agriculture and agri-food sector, submitted a letter to the Government of Canada echoing the recent correspondence from our U.S. counterparts and expressed our strong support for the full 16-year renewal of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA).
CUSMA has been instrumental in fostering a stable, integrated North American agricultural market. It has enabled Canadian farmers, ranchers, processors, and exporters to thrive through predictable access to our most important trading partners. As a result, trade between all three countries under CUSMA has led to the tripling of the value of North American agriculture and agrifood trade between 2005 and 2023, totaling approximately $400 billion CAD ($285 billion USD).
