U.S. Food and Agriculture Dialogue

U.S. Food and Agriculture Dialogue

On February 9 NAEGA President and CEO Gary Martin, along with North American Meat Institute (NAMI) Vice-President Bill Westman and Cassandra Kuball of the Corn Refiners Association (CRA), led a meeting of the U.S. Food and Agriculture Dialogue for Trade. The Dialogue is an off the record broad based open forum that convenes as needed to discuss U.S. agriculture's interests in trade. This week, the Dialogue hosted Ken Smith Ramos of the Mexican Embassy and Mike Hawkins and Brad Wood of the Canadian Embassy to discuss trilateral trade in North American and the future of the North American Free Trade Agreement. In addition, the Dialogue discussed recent letters sent to the Trump Administration on trade in North American and the Asia-Pacific and agreed to continue to engage with the Administration on trade issues in the future, including on upcoming March discussions on trade between the Trans-Pacific Partnership and Pacific Alliance in Chile.
