NAFTA, Canada, and Mexico: Congressionally Mandated NAFTA Report

Contents
 
Contents
 

The North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act requires that the Secretary of Agriculture report to Congress from 1997 to 2011 about the effects of NAFTA on U.S. agricultural producers and rural communities.

The most recent NAFTA report discusses the last set of agricultural trade restrictions that were removed by the agreement in 2008, 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.
