(INDIANAPOLIS) - Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director Bruce Kettler issued the following statement on 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.
"Having just returned from my first trade mission to Canada, I recognize the importance of having a free, fair and reciprocal trade. Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. are at the epicenter of global exchange, and expanded market access and enhanced cooperation ensure this partnership will only grow stronger.
"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."
