Delegates from Canada and the U-S, gathered in Mexico this week for the 31st Annual Tri-National Agricultural Accord.
Among the representatives from Canada, Manitoba's Agriculture Minister Derek Johnson, Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit and Senior Officials from Alberta's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Economic Development.
Johnson says the meetings marked an opportunity for senior state and provincial officials to work collaboratively on agriculture and trade issues.
He points out that a key highlight for Canada was being able to reach an agreement with Mexico around the resumption of trade for small ruminants like sheep and goats.
"With B-S-E small ruminants were not allowed to cross the border at that point either. Then they removed it for cattle, but it remained on for sheep and goats."
