NAWG: TPP Will Bring Renewed Grower Competitiveness
USAgNet - 05/06/2016
With Congress out of session this week and members back home in their districts, it is now more important than ever for wheat growers to contact their Congressional representatives and urge them to support passage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement.
That's according to the National Association of Wheat Growers, which said the trade agreement will bring new market access for U.S. farmers in the Asia-Pacific region by lowering burdensome tariffs which hurt U.S. competitiveness, boosting exports to
regions of the world with growing middle classes, and establishing high-standard trade rules.
Last month, NAWG joined a coalition of other agricultural organizations in sending a letter to the House and Senate Leadership, urging their quick action. The letter also emphasized that the longer Congress waits to take action on TPP, the more disadvantaged
U.S. growers are compared to other countries in the region.
With elected Representatives and Senators back in their districts, the group says growers should take this opportunity to interact with them about the importance of TPP for agriculture.
With limited legislative days remaining before the end of the 114th Congress, NAWG continues to enthusiastically call for timely action by Congress, given the importance of TPP.
