NAFTA modernization talks resume today with dairy leaders from the United States and Mexico in agreement on key issues, including Canada's unfair pricing policy.

With the first round of NAFTA talks beginning today, it's wise to consider the value of business goodwill flowing across borders.

NAFTA modernization must move quickly to prevent the EU from making a deal with Mexico that would prevent U.S. exporters from using common cheese names.

Stan Ryan describes the level playing field a modernized NAFTA should create and explains why thriving dairy exports to Mexico and Canada are vital to U.S. economic prosperity. 

Turn south on June 1 to raise a glass to our No. 1 export market, supporting an estimated 25,000 American jobs.

In a 30-minute interview with Iowa Public Television, USDEC's president and CEO discusses his trip to Mexico and why "relationships matter."

Partnerships must benefit both parties to stand the test of time, and the partnership between U.S. dairy and Mexico has done just that.

The last few years it has been fashionable to talk about the growth of China, Southeast Asia and the Middle East/North Africa region. But Mexico has been No. 1 all along.

Products going into Mexico will need to be labeled for saturated fat, other fat, sugar, sodium and energy.

A decade of moderate economic gains has helped expand dairy consumption and, by extension, imports of U.S. products.

Mexico remains the biggest customer for U.S. dairy products, purchasing a record $1.43 billion in 2013.

A week or so before Thanksgiving, Mexico became our first billion-dollar overseas market. It was like watching our first-born go through a graduation ceremony—the satisfying reward after years of careful nurturing.

The United States justifiably calls for other nations to live up to the terms of negotiated free trade agreements. Those calls ring hollow when we refuse to live up to our own freely negotiated trade commitments, specifically, in this case, the cross-border trucking requirements mandated in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
