WASHINGTON, DC – Today, in reaction to the recent U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) report on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), John Bode, President and CEO of the Corn Refiners Association, commented:

“The recent USITC report on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement demonstrates that this agreement is a winner for U.S. consumers and jobs. One in four American manufacturing jobs are related to agriculture, and they are counting on Congress to approve this important agreement.”

USMCA, once implemented, will strengthen the U.S. farm and agriculture economy and further support and secure vital market access for U.S. farmers, ranchers, and agri-businesses.
