Research on the Impact of Establishment of US-Mexico Free Trade Area on Sugar Industry in the United States and Mexico
摘要
Abstract
In the context of economic globalization and regional economic integration,the trade relationship between the United States and Mexico(referred to as the US-Mexico)has attracted much attention.The sugar industry,as an important agricultural sector for both countries,has been deeply influenced by North America Free Trade Agreement and the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement.This article systematically analyzes the changes in sugar trade policies in the US-Mexico Free Trade Area and their impact on the production,consumption,trade,and market prices of sugar and corn syrup.The inclusion of changes in the production,consumption,and trade of corn syrup in the study is mainly due to its association with sugar,which belongs to the category of sweeteners and has substitutability in consumer demand,price transmission correlation,and equivalent access conditions for sugar in Free Trade Agreements.The main research conclusions are as follows:Firstly,the development of US-Mexico Free Trade Area has undergone a transformation from"tending towards openness"to"increasing constraints";Secondly,the policy of opening up US-Mexico Free Trade Area has promoted an increase in sugar trade between two countries,with United States sugar imports increasingly concentrated in Mexico,the policy of increasing constraints in the US-Mexico Free Trade Area has led to a decrease in the quantity of sugar exports from Mexico to the United States,and the export structure has shifted from"mainly refined sugar"to"mainly raw sugar";Thirdly,the overall policy of the US-Mexico Free Trade Area has promoted Mexico's imports of high fructose corn syrup from the United States,and the per capita consumption of high fructose corn syrup in Mexico is increasingly tending towards the consumption structure of the United States;Fourthly,the tariff policy under the US-Mexico Free Trade Area exhibits dynamic adjustment characteristics,reflecting the balanced demand for free trade and domestic industrial development under regional trade integration;Fifthly,The policy of opening up the Free Trade Area has strengthened the linkage between US-Mexico sugar prices,resulting in a narrowing of the price difference between the two countries'raw sugar;Sixthly,the sugar prices and production in the United States are more stable than in Mexico,and the Mexican sugar industry is actively adjusting under Free Trade Agreement to better meet the demand and policy changes in the United States market.关键词
