Agri-Food Trade Policy

U.S. Trade Advocacy

The United States and Canada share more than a common border. Similar geography, weather, demographics, and culture promote a close trading relationship, while a shared language and similar regulations allow for fluid business transactions and efficient production. Increased bilateral economic cooperation has resulted in a large consumer base and expanded cross-border activity for both the American and Canadian agriculture and agri-food industries. Bilateral trade provides consumers on both sides of the border with a greater variety of safe, healthy and wholesome food products and producers with a larger and more diversifi ed market in which to operate.
