This joint effort also highlights the gender perspective and the inclusion of small producers in the bilateral agenda, reaffirming the agricultural sector's role as a pillar of regional integration and development.
The agreement also includes the expansion of markets for products and the authorization of meat establishments, measures that Mexico recognized as a means of diversifying and balancing trade flows.
