USMCA harms Mexican farmers, media reports
After 30 years of trade integration, the USMCA negatively impacts local producers, causing decapitalization and risks to food sovereignty and rural families, based on official data reported by 'La Jornada'.
According to a report by the newspaper 'La Jornada', based on official data, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is severely impacting farmers in Mexico. After more than three decades of trade integration, the outcomes reveal a negative balance for local producers, who are facing a deep process of decapitalization. This situation threatens the country's food sovereignty and the survival of thousands of rural families that rely on agriculture for their livelihood. The report emphasizes how international competition and the treaty's conditions have worsened economic hardships in the Mexican agricultural sector, raising concerns about long-term sustainability.
