Canada’s Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, along with representatives from the private agri-food sectors travelled to Mexico to discuss ways to strengthen ties between the two countries.
Dubbed the ‘Mexico-Canada Agribusiness Dialogue’, the groups addressed challenges to productive growth, trade, regulatory and administrative simplification, innovation and digitalization, and investment opportunities.
There was emphasis on the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) as the foundation for strengthening supply chains between countries.
As a result of the meeting, industry representatives from both nations presented their respective Ministers of Agriculture with a proposed path forward. It included developing a joint action plan aimed at boosting trade, innovation, and regulatory cooperation. These efforts would strengthen supply chains, promote investment in agricultural technology, and establish an ongoing agribusiness forum to follow up on shared priorities.
