Abstract

Regional trade agreements in the Americas: impacts on rice trade Abstract: The U.S. rice industry is losing competitiveness in foreign markets. Regional trade agreements such as NAFTA have helped to sustain exports. The broader Free Trade of the Americas Agreement (FTAA) proposal would subject the U.S. to growing competition from the MERCOSUR nations for rice trade in the Western Hemisphere. This study evaluates the effect of regional trade agreements on rice trade, with a particular focus on the proposed FTAA.
