Agriculture officials from the U.S., Canada and Mexico in a joint statement Tuesday announced a shared commitment to keeping markets open and transparent. The trio of U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, Mexico’s Agriculture Secretary and Canada’s Agriculture Minister, released the statement after meeting Tuesday in Georgia. The officials met to talk trade issues ahead of the U.S. led renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement. The statement said that the meeting “fostered the mutual understanding and personal relationships that will help North American agriculture thrive.” There was no offer on specific topics, but Bloomberg speculated earlier in the week that dairy and sugar trade issues were sure to be topping the list for Perdue. Canada remains committed to its supply management system for dairy, of which Perdue previously said “the supply has to be managed,” adding that Canada has “created a glut on the market.” Canada does not seem willing though to make changes to its system through NAFTA renegotiations.
