Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director Bruce Kettler expressed initial support of the recent trade agreement made between the United States, Mexico and Canada.
“The conclusion of these trade negotiations with our partners in Canada and Mexico is a major win for farmers and agribusinesses in the state. It’s a step towards market certainty, which is critical to the farm economy, and has the potential to provide a much needed lift to many of our agricultural sectors, especially the dairy industry," he said.
Mexico, Canada and the U.S. are at the epicenter of global exchange, he noted, and expanded market access and cooperation ensures a stronger partnership between the countries, he added.
“As we await approval, I look forward to reviewing the details of this agreement in depth and remain optimistic about the opportunities it affords our farmers and agribusinesses in the future," Kettler said.
