NAFTA
Congressionally
Mandated NAFTA Report
NAFTA
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a
comprehensive trade liberalizing agreement among Canada, Mexico,
and the United States. NAFTA progressively eliminated almost all
tariff and quota barriers to agricultural and other trade among
these countries over the 1994-2008 transition period. The agreement
also facilitates cross-border investment, requires that sanitary
and phytosanitary standards for trade be scientifically based, and
expands cooperation on environment and labor issues.
ERS was the principal USDA agency involved in the preparation of
the Department's Congressionally mandated NAFTA reports from 1997
to 2011. Currently, ERS conducts research on a variety of topics
related to NAFTA, Canada, and Mexico, including issues affecting
U.S.-Canada and U.S.-Mexico agricultural trade, specific sectors
within Canadian and Mexican agriculture, ideas for furthering the
integration of the NAFTA countries' agricultural sectors, and
cross-border transportation issues. ERS also provides links
to current and historical data on the production, supply,
distribution, and trade of the NAFTA countries.
Congressionally
Mandated NAFTA Report
The North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act
required that the Secretary of Agriculture to report to the U.S.
Congress from 1997 to 2011 about the effects of NAFTA on U.S.
agricultural producers and rural communities.
The 2011 NAFTA report discusses the accord's impact on the
integration of the agricultural sectors of the member countries and
the possibilities for advancing this process now that NAFTA's
project of agricultural trade liberalization is complete.
Previous NAFTA reports, along with ERS research conducted prior
to the agreement, offer extensive insights into the accord's impact
on U.S. agriculture.
