NCGA: USMCA a Win for Agriculture

Wed, 29 Jan 2020 10:42:28 CST

National Corn Growers Association President Kevin Ross today declared President Trump's signing of the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) a big win for American agriculture. Mexico and Canada are the U.S. corn industry's largest, most reliable market; 21.4 million metric tons of corn and corn co-products, valued at $4.56 billion, were exported to Mexico and Canada in 2018. The signing follows overwhelming Congressional support for the trade deal.
Ross made the following statement.
"This is a big win for America's farmers, our rural communities and the American economy. USMCA builds on our already successful trading partnership with Mexico and Canada. This agreement should serve as a template for opening the door to new market opportunities for U.S. corn. Corn farmers are grateful for the hard work done by the President, the U.S. Trade Representative and everyone in the Administration who made today's signing possible."
Ross attended today's White House signing along with Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association President Patty Mann, Minnesota Corn Growers Association President Les Anderson and Wisconsin Corn Growers Association President Doug Rebout. Passing USMCA was NCGA's top legislative priority for 2019, and the organization will continue to work with the Administration to identify future opportunities for market access and new agreements.
