AAW Policy Bites: Trade Agreements & Market Access

American Agri-Women supports trade agreements that expand market access for U.S. agricultural products while holding imported goods to the same safety and production standards required of American farmers and ranchers.

📌 Our Position: AAW supports enforcing existing trade agreements, negotiating fair new agreements, and ensuring that imported agricultural products meet U.S. food safety, environmental, and labor standards. Trade policies must protect the competitiveness of American agriculture.

🌎 Why It Matters: Agriculture depends on strong domestic and international markets. Fair trade agreements help U.S. producers compete globally, strengthen rural economies, and ensure that American consumers receive safe, high-quality food.
