Over the past few weeks, I have talked about the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, which should benefit Georgia’s poultry industry by opening up economically competitive trade routes to other parts of the world. Now it appears that negotiations are looking positive with our neighbors to our north and south. In response to the U.S. International Trade Commission’s request for comments and investigation on negotiating objectives with respect to Mexico’s and Canada’s participation in the proposed agreement, the National Chicken Council and USA Poultry & Egg Export Council expressed support and offered suggested conditions for the two countries’ inclusion in the trade pact.
