Trade remedy actions in NAFTA: agriculture and agri-food industries
Article Abstract:
North American Free Trade agreement (NAFTA) provides administered protection for the domestic countries, especially in the import-dependent, agriculture and agri-food industries. The incidence of anti-dumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) law suits have reduced in the three NAFTA countries namely-US, Mexico and Canada. The administered protection mechanism can be altered by the reduction/elimination of duties, removal of AD/CVD suits, and the use of good offices, that is third party mediation.
