ARLINGTON, Va. — Following the completion of the first six-year joint review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, the National Grain and Feed Association announced on July 1, 2026 that it stands firmly behind a long-term extension of the trade deal.
Although the United States did not formally confirm an extension during the review period, the agreement continues to be fully in effect, with no changes to existing trade terms.
NGFA President and CEO Mike Seyfert emphasized the importance of keeping the agreement strong. “USMCA provides critical certainty for U.S. agriculture and supports the integrated North American supply chains that help keep our grain, feed, processing, and export sectors competitive,” he said. “The agreement remains fully in force, and we look forward to working with the administration, policymakers and other stakeholders throughout the review process to support seamless agricultural trade and continued market opportunities across North America.”
The organization noted that Mexico and Canada are essential markets for American agricultural products. NGFA said it plans to keep pushing for a robust, long-term version of the agreement that gives agricultural producers and investors confidence in the future of regional trade.
