ADM Statement on U.S.-Mexico Sugar Agreement

CHICAGO, June 6, 2017— ADM commends the U.S. and Mexico for reaching an agreement in principal that aims to preserve cross-border trade of sweeteners between our two countries. Ensuring continuity of trade provides stability for the U.S.-Mexico integrated sweeteners market, which benefits consumers and producers of food and agriculture products across our borders.

We applaud the leadership of U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary, Wilbur Ross, and his team, for their commitment to pursuing an outcome that will benefit U.S. farmers and America’s agriculture communities that depend upon Mexico as a critical export market.

ADM supports policies that ensure the free and fair flow of trade, which is essential for feeding the world and bolstering opportunities for America’s rural economies.
