U.S., Mexico renew food safety agreements


Published:
The United States and Mexico are reinforcing food safety agreements as agricultural food trade between the countries continues to expand.
Recently, Mexican authorities and U.S. regulators reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring the safety of fresh and minimally processed foods, a move that comes as trade flows and supply chain interdependence deepen.
Food exchange between the two countries has increased from just over $50 billion to more than $73 billion in the past five years. Key Mexican exports to the United States include avocados, tomatoes, berries, peppers and other fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as beef.
