Trade Policy

The Idaho Agriculture Trade Issues Report has been in publication since 1999.  It reports the phytosanitary, tariff, quota, animal health and other trade barriers identified by the Idaho agriculture community.  Market access is needed to export products and establishing fair trading practices are essential for business success.  The trade barriers for Idaho products are reported to USDA, USTR and other organizations who participate in global agriculture policy discussions and implementation.  Continued investment in raising the profile of Idaho’s trade issues will benefit Idaho farmers, ranchers and agribusinesses by opening export markets and clarifying industry positions on trade agreements.
