Mexico and Chile signed two key agreements to streamline agricultural trade and strengthen health security, according to an official statement released Tuesday (September 23, 2025) by Mexico's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (AGRICULTURA) and Chile's Ministry of Agriculture.
The instruments —a General Agreement on Technical and Scientific Cooperation or with a Specific Agreement on Plant Health— include joint actions in pest control, efficient water use, sustainable agriculture, and climate change adaptation, as well as training and the exchange of information and technology.
In terms of digitalization and trade facilitation, both countries highlighted the good functioning of electronic certification for plant products and agreed to extend it to livestock products within the framework of the Pacific Alliance—an economic and commercial bloc made up of Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru.
This cooperation is part of a regional context where a large part of the agricultural surplus comes from a limited number of countries—Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay—and seeks to open more markets, improve the competitiveness of small and medium-sized producers, and promote sustainable food systems, strengthening integration and collaboration between Mexico and Chile.
Aduana News is the first Argentine customs newspaper to launch its digital version. With 20 years of experience, its publications and initiatives aim to provide the most relevant knowledge on customs issues in order to contribute to safe trade in the region.
