U.S. poultry producers say the modernization of the North American Free Trade Agreement could bring trade improvements. The National Chicken Council and the USA Poultry & Egg Export Council together called NAFTA a “bonanza for American Agriculture.” However, the groups say some trade issues could be improved under the renegotiation effort. The National Chicken Council says Canada and the United States had reached preliminary agreement on increasing the quotas for U.S. chicken into Canada, which could be included in NAFTA. The U.S. industry also believes that there should be similar increases in the market access for U.S. turkey and turkey products. The poultry industry also stands by sanitary and phytosanitary rules that were negotiated as part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and urged the U.S., Mexico and Canada to adopt the improved rules as part of the NAFTA renegotiation. Along with Brazil, the United States is one of the two leading poultry exporting nations in the world. Mexico is the largest export market for the U.S. poultry industry, and Canada is the second largest export market.
