The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) promises important impacts on US agriculture, including meats and livestock. Empirical analyses of free trade effects, using import demand elasticities, indicate that with moderate increases in income and similar decreases in price, Mexico could be expected to significantly expand meat imports by 400,000 tons annually, with the United States supplying increasing quantities of exports. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
