Kuchokera pa mliri wa Covid-19 ndikuyang'anira kwawo kunyumba mpaka kuwonetsera ziwonetsero zankhanza za apolisi ndi zovuta zawo zonse, chaka chino chikhala monga chimodzi mwazovuta kwambiri m'mbiri yaposachedwa.
At 2020’s halfway point on July 1, Komabe, Zomwe dziko lathuli komanso zachuma zidzakhazikika. That’s the day the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) chifuniro Lowani mwamphamvu, m'malo mwa NAFTA ndikulola maiko athu atatu kuti akhale ndi ubale wogwirizana mwadongosolo.
As farmers from each of the USMCA’s three nations, we’ve written previously about the importance of this trade agreement. mu 2018 ndi 2019, tapempha maboma athu ndi akazitape awo amalonda kuti amalize ntchitoyo. Tsopano, we want to thank them for what they’ve done-and remind everyone that we should be grateful for our vital partnership.
Uwu ukhoza kukhala phunziro lalikulu la 2020: Osangotengera chilichonse, whether it’s the ability to visit elderly relatives or even toilet paper on grocery-store shelves. Simudzadziwa kuti zonse zidzasintha liti.
Kwa alimi kudera lathunthu, NAFTA inagwira ntchito bwino m'badwo. It didn’t matter if you grew wheat on the plains of Saskatchewan in Canada, amapanga tchizi kumapiri a Vermont ku United States, kapena kulera ng'ombe zamkaka kumapiri apakati pakatikati mwa Mexico.
That’s what we do and where we do it-and each of us benefitted from this economic relationship.
Monga momwe alimi adatukuka, momwemonso ogula. Canada inatipatsa nsomba ndi tirigu. United States idapereka chimanga ndi mkaka. Mexico idakula masamba abwino. We became each other’s biggest trading partners, kutumiza ndi kutumiza kunja zinthu zomwe anthu athu amafuna.
Mwanjira zina, ngakhale, phindu lalikulu linali lomwe tidaliona mopepuka: lingaliro lakuti NAFTA nthawi zonse ikakhalapo.
Mwina tikadakhala okondwa kuti NAFTA ipitirire kwamuyaya, kapena osachepera kwa nthawi yayitali. Kenako kunasokoneza zandale 2016 ndi 2018, monga anthu omwe ndi ofuna kukhala atsogoleri a chipanichi a Donald Trump ku United States ndi Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador ku Mexico adapambana zisankho zawo ndikukayikira cholinga ndi kuthekera kwa NAFTA.
Kwakanthawi, zimawoneka kuti ubale wathu wamalonda ukhoza kusokonekera. M'malo molola kuti katundu ndi ntchito ziziyenda kudutsa malire athu mochita kukambitsirana, tinayang'anizana ndi zopinga zatsopano ngati njira yokhometsera misonkho yodzitchinjiriza ndi malamulo oyipa.
Tinali titangotenga NAFTA, ndipo mwadzidzidzi tidatsala pang'ono kutaya.
Mavutowa amatipangitsa kuthana ndi zovuta zina. Pazabwino zake zonse, NAFTA inali itatha ntchito. Inasainidwa isanachitike intaneti, which means it didn’t account for how the web has transformed our economies. Zinalibe zambiri zokhudzana ndi biotechnology, yomwe yasinthanso ulimi ndi zozizwitsa za sayansi za GMO. Komanso munkakhala zosokoneza zamalonda, involving access to each other’s markets-minor points in the grand scheme of things, koma zokhumudwitsa kwa ife omwe tiyenera kuthana nawo mumabizinesi athu olima.
USMCA ikukonza zambiri za mfundozi, ndikulonjeza tsogolo labwino la ntchito zambiri, mitengo yabwino yazakudya, ndi kukula kwachuma.
Zabwino koposa zonse, Komabe, is that we’ll regain the certainty that we had lost.
Palibe amene akudziwa zamtsogolo: Chaka chamawa kubweretsa chilala? Kodi chivomerezi chitha kugumula?? Kodi tekinoloje yatsopano idzasintha momwe timachitira bizinesi?
We do our best to anticipate what’s ahead, kupanga mapulani omwe amachititsa izi. Komabe zochuluka za izo sitingathe kuzilamulira.
Ndondomeko yamalonda, Komabe, ali m'manja mwa atsogoleri omwe amatiyimilira.
Kwa zaka zochepa, chifukwa cha mafunso omwe azungulira ma North America amalonda, we struggled to know whether we’d enjoy the ability to buy and sell our products with each other.
Ili lidali vuto lakuchita kwathu zandale komanso pano, mwachimwemwe, kukhazikitsa kwa USMCA kumathetsa izi.
Pa Julayi 1, let’s be glad that we have an economic agreement that will help us all-and resolve never to take it for granted again.
Dinani apa kuti mupereke zopereka ku Global Farmer Network.
