American ag organizations want to renew USMCA agreement ‘without major adjustment’

A letter signed by 124 organizations representing the American food and agricultural value chain, was filed October 30, 2025 to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. 

In it, they voiced support for a full 16-year renewal of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement in the public consultation process for the 2026 Joint Review of the USMCA. Significantly, the letter said: “ Trade cooperation between the United States, Mexico, and Canada affords multifold benefits, underscoring the need to uphold and maintain the agreement text of USMCA as written without major adjustment.”

A key point of the letter: "The United States is the world's largest agricultural exporter, and a majority of signers consider Canada and Mexico among their top five export markets. Trade integration between all three countries, enhanced by former trade agreements and accelerated by the USMCA, has allowed agricultural exports from the United States to soar."
