On the 7th of May 2022, the Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador visited Belize and announced to the nation that all Belizean Agriculture products, including cattle will be allowed to enter Mexico free of tariffs.

This has been one of the greatest moments in the history for both nations which the government of Belize had been seeking, especially for the reduction of tariffs for cattle. A heartfelt thankyou goes out to Minister Courtenay and his team for achieving an acceptable Trade Agreement that would benefit our producers. This announcement on the zero tariffs on agriculture products will radically change the future of agriculture in our nation.

On behalf of the farmers and people of Belize, the Minister of Agriculture thanks President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and the government of Mexico for granting such opportunity.
