Produce Coalition for USMCA Launches to Protect Fresh Produce Affordability and Tariff-Free Agriculture Trade
The Produce Coalition for USMCA announces its official launch today to advocate for continued consumer access to affordable fresh produce and tariff-free trade of all agricultural products under USMCA. In a statement released today, the group said:
“Our organization represents a broad alliance of produce companies that grow, pack, ship, distribute, and sell fresh produce in the United States. The Produce Coalition for USMCA is committed to highlighting the critical role of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) in maintaining food security and affordable grocery prices for consumers. We support an integrated North American produce supply chain that ensures a reliable, year-round supply of healthy, affordable, fresh fruits and vegetables for American consumers. By fostering seamless cross-border trade and collaboration, the USMCA helps keep grocery shelves stocked, supports agricultural jobs, and contributes to a safer, stronger, and more prosperous America.”
As the USMCA Parties continue their required six-year joint review, the Coalition will be working to highlight the importance of the agreement to U.S. agriculture and consumers. Under USMCA, an integrated North American supply chain ensures that our industry can provide a year-round, affordable supply of highly perishable goods to households in all 50 states.
