IARN — United States Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack was recently in Mexico to talk with his counterpart, Mexican Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development Victor Villalobos. The discussions were wide-ranging with our neighbor and partner in the USMCA pact, but Vilsack is confident he is coming back after making progress on a few topics.
Potatoes have been a sticking point in Ag trade with Mexico for more than 15 years now. Producers in our country are charging that conglomerates in Mexico are persuading the government to not allow fair access to our products, while their potatoes flood our shelves. Vilsack says that they had a good discussion on this issue.
