Accessing International Markets - Mexico
May 23, 2024
Join VEDP and Neighbors International Business Group for a webinar on accessing international markets. Mexico is fifth among Virginia export destinations with exports in 2022 equal to $1.1 billion. Mexican companies, government agencies, and entire industries are deeply familiar with and receptive to U.S. products and services. U.S. producers often find it straightforward to market and sell their services and products in Mexico. The market continues to benefit from the agreement to modernize NAFTA into the USMCA, its proximity to the United States, and its modern port infrastructure. Close cultural, social, and economic ties make Mexico a natural market to consider for first-time and expanding exporters.
