I was proud to testify to ustr today on behalf of Florida farmers to share the need for protections against unfair Mexican trade practices, which have caused severe economic losses. Florida growers' share of the U.S. market has dropped 40% since 2000, as Mexico has gained 217%.

Florida produces a lot of food. After all, agriculture is the second-largest industry in Florida. When you grab something in your fridge this weekend, try to grab something grown right here in Florida. Find recipes using fresh Florida commodities here: bit.ly/3ltYDss

Thank you Commissioner for your continued efforts for FL Agriculture! U.S. trade laws must support a level playing field for American farmers – one in which lower labor costs & more lax environmental standards in other countries does not drive our domestic growers out of business
