The USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service is now accepting applications for its upcoming agribusiness trade mission to Mexico City, Mexico, scheduled for November 3-6. U.S. exporters need to get their applications in this week, by Thursday, July 31. “Strengthening export opportunities for American farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses is a top priority for USDA,” said Michelle Bekkering, Deputy Undersecretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs. “This trade mission will connect U.S. producers with key buyers in Mexico, which was the largest export market for U.S. agricultural products in 2024.” Sales totaled more than $30 billion, supporting approximately 190,000 U.S. jobs. Agricultural trade between the U.S. and Mexico under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement reached almost $79 billion in 2024. Growing U.S. exports to Mexico are supported by factors such as rising disposable income among Mexico’s upper middle class, familiarity with U.S. products and food trends, and a strong demand for high-quality agricultural goods.
