# USMCA: Reviewing the Backbone of North American Agriculture Trade | Farm Bureau Intel Policy | American Farm Bureau Federation

> The American Farm Bureau Federation reviews the USMCA, which entered into force in 2020 and guarantees duty-free access for agricultural products. The piece notes that Article 34.7 terminates the agreement in 2036 unless all three countries agree to extend it. It calls for Canada to deliver the dairy market access promised in the original deal and for a rapid response mechanism to resolve future disputes.

## Why it matters

Canada and Mexico are among the largest markets for U.S. farm exports, so uncertainty over USMCA renewal weighs on long-term export demand expectations. Any threat to dairy or feed-grain access would be a bearish factor for the affected U.S. commodities, though the impact is gradual.
