Colchester, VT - July 1, 2020 -American Agri-Women (AAW) has waited anxiously for this day to see the United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement (USMCA) goes into force.
A large number of the AAW membership held round tables throughout the U.S. these last couple of years.
This was done in part to educate their legislators on the need for a good trade agreement and ask them to vote for it.
A more balanced trade agreement has been needed for years; one that takes a proactive approach to the origin, agriculture markets, intellectual property, and labor.
All of which create a greater quantity and quality of opportunities for American farmers and ranchers, while including others such as foresters, miners, and more.
AAW president, Karolyn Zurn states, “We have waited for a trade agreement to replace NAFTA and now it is here, which will lead to freer markets, fairer trade, and robust economic growth throughout North America”.
As American Agri-Women we #STANDUPSPEAKOUT4AG and are an ongoing “Voice for Truth About Agriculture”.
We applaud this administration for being diligent in negotiations to bring USMCA to fruition.
