AAW Policy Bites: Trade & Market Access

Strong trade policies are essential to U.S. agriculture, ensuring fair competition and expanding opportunities for farmers and ranchers. AAW supports trade agreements that provide unrestricted market access while holding imports to the same high safety and quality standards as U.S. products.

📌 Our Position: AAW advocates for the enforcement of trade agreements that protect U.S. agriculture from unfair foreign competition. We support equivalent sanitary and phytosanitary regulations to maintain a level playing field for American producers.

🚜 Why It Matters: When trade policies are fair and transparent, U.S. agriculture thrives. Expanding global markets strengthens rural economies, helps farmers stay competitive, and prevents foreign imports with lower production standards from undercutting American-grown products.
