In brief: Mexico
The local press is reporting that Mexico’s national front of milk producers and consumers (FNPCL) is calling for milk powder and its derivatives to be left out of the soon-to-be-renegotiated North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta). FNPCL’s president, Alvaro González Muñoz, said that Mexican milk producers have long had to contend with unfair competition from their US counterparts and that this has led to the loss of thousands of jobs in the sector since Nafta came into effect in 1994. The FNPCL’s call comes ahead of the first round of talks on the renegotiation of Nafta’s terms demanded by the US government led by President Donald Trump, which are due to take place in the second half of August.
