The Senate passed the U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement and here is some reaction from the Farm Bureau:

The American Farm Bureau Federation commends the Senate on its quick passage of the U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement, which is estimated to increase U.S agricultural trade by $705 million per year after full implementation. The agreement benefits all U.S. agriculture with gains to be spread across all sectors—from livestock to fiber, grains and oilseeds to fruits and vegetables.

“We encourage Congress to now move ahead with the Colombia and Panama trade agreements, which are also important for U.S. agriculture. It is critical that we continue opening markets for our products, while reaching out to new trading partners.
“AFBF urges Congress to bring up to vote the remaining two Latin American agreements as soon as possible. We look forward to continuing to work with Congress toward passage of these outstanding agreements.”
