Forty farm and agricultural groups have joined forces to launch the Agricultural Coalition for the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, highlighting the trade pact’s role as a critical economic engine for the U.S. farm economy and a cornerstone of North American agricultural trade. The coalition is urging renewal of the agreement, along with targeted improvements, as policymakers begin to look ahead to the mandatory 2026 review process.
As part of the launch, the coalition rolled out a new website and kicked off an aggressive advertising campaign in Washington, D.C., aimed at lawmakers, administration officials, and other stakeholders. The effort is designed to underscore the benefits the agreement has delivered to U.S. agriculture and to reinforce its importance as trade discussions intensify in the coming months.
“USMCA is one of the President’s signature achievements and has significantly propelled the ag economy,” said Bryan Goodman, a spokesperson for the new group. “We’re not saying it’s perfect, as some changes are warranted, but we are saying it is of paramount importance to farmers that all three countries renew the agreement.”
Since taking effect, the agreement has boosted U.S. agricultural exports to both Canada and Mexico, while also providing greater certainty and stability for farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses operating across all three nations. Coalition members argue that preserving and strengthening the pact will be essential to maintaining market access, supporting rural economies, and ensuring the competitiveness of U.S. agriculture in the years ahead.
