The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported that new reciprocal trade agreements are boosting U.S. agricultural exports to several countries, including El Salvador.
According to official data released by the USDA’s Office of the Chief Economist, U.S. agricultural exports to nations with new trade agreements will reach millions of dollars by 2024. Taiwan tops the list as the main destination under these agreements, followed by Guatemala and Malaysia. El Salvador is among the trading partners that maintain active exchanges under this framework.
The report highlights that these agreements have served as tools to expand market opportunities for U.S. producers. Among the main benefits noted are significant tariff reductions on various agricultural products, the elimination of non-tariff barriers to exports of beef, pork, poultry, and processed potatoes to Taiwan, the opening of the Argentine market to poultry products within one year, and the recognition of the U.S. sanitary system for meat, poultry, and dairy products in Malaysia.
Although the document does not detail specific measures applied to El Salvador, its inclusion on the list confirms that it is part of the group of countries with new agricultural trade agreements with the United States. This implies a steady flow of U.S. agricultural products to the Salvadoran market under preferential conditions agreed upon by both parties.
The information presented by the USDA underscores the strategic role of trade agreements as instruments for strengthening the presence of U.S. agricultural products in international markets, in a global context where tariff reductions and the harmonization of sanitary standards are key factors for boosting trade.
