Trade
Agreements and Negotiations |
|
Agricultural trade throughout the world is changing. Keeping up with fluctuations in markets, new and amended regulations, and issues that affect trade is challenging. Technology and fewer trade restrictions have opened international markets for both buyers and sellers.
The United States is pursuing trade liberalization with many developed and developing countries. Having access to growing foreign agriculture markets is essential to U.S. farmers who produce far more than domestic buyers can consume.
This page lists final agreements between the United States and individual countries.
The
Agricultural Policy
Advisory Committee (APAC) for Trade and six Agricultural Technical Advisory
Committees (ATACs) for Trade are a formal mechanism to ensure ongoing liaison
between the federal government and the private sector regarding agricultural
trade issues.
Looking to increase sales and
expand your customer base? Exporting may be the answer! Selling to overseas
markets is a lucrative activity for many U.S. companies and all of them
began by researching, planning and making critical decisions.
Compliance with U.S. export controls and regulations is
important to U.S. National Security to protect U.S.
interests at home and abroad. Agricultural exporters must
ensure that sales of their products are conducted legally.
Compliance not only involves controlled goods and
technologies, it also involves restrictions on shipping to
certain countries, companies, organizations, and/or
individuals. It is critical that exporters adhere to any and
all export regulations, while contributing to U.S. National
Security.
International Organizations
