The Agricultural Exports on the Renegotiation of USCM: The Case of Sinaloa

Abstract

Like many other countries, Mexico has invested in finding measures to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) to its territories. In 1994, Mexico signed the United States–Canada–Mexico (USCM), a pact that positions Mexico as the United States' greatest direct exporter, with the prospect of leaving the treaty following the renegotiating of the USCM. This study seeks to analyse the benefits and drawbacks of renegotiation inside the USCM. It is said that the renegotiation of the Treat of Mexico, United States and Canada (Tratado de México, Estados Unidos y Canadá, TMEC) does not have to cause a wave of anxiety surrounding agricultural commodities and goods from the State of Sinaloa's exports because the renegotiation was accepted and a fair arrangement was established for the three countries. Looking directly at Sinaloa's agricultural exports, the study suggests that such a renegotiation is not beneficial for Sinaloan agricultural exportation putting forth the evidences to support the hypothesis applied.
