In 2017, Canada, the United States, and Mexico agreed to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement and build upon the success of the nearly 25-year-old agreement. After more than a year of negotiation, the Canada-United States-Mexico (CUSMA) was signed on November 30, 2018, and came into effect on 1 July 2020.
As of 2021, the U.S. and Mexico are top export destinations for Canadian agri-food and agricultural products. Canada exported CDN $36 billion to the U.S. and CDN $2.4 billion to Mexico in 2021.
