      "title": "NAFTA and U.S.-Mexico Cattle Trade",
      "summary": "The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was implemented in January 1994. Thus\nfar,\nno clear pattern has emerged regarding U.S.-Mexico cattle trade: in the first year the U.S. trade\ndeficit in cattle fell, but in the second year that deficit reached a record level. While some U.S. cattle\nproducers blamed NAFTA for the record deficit, the underlying causes were devaluation of the peso,\nMexico's economic contraction, and drought in northern Mexico. Lower U.S. cattle prices, which\nsome also contend were the result of NAFTA, were the result of several factors including high grain\nprices and large domestic cattle supplies.",
