Kubva paCovid-19 denda uye kugara-pamba-kwekudaira kuri kuratidzira pamusoro pehutsinye hwemapurisa uye zvese zvekupokana kwavo., gore rino richadzika pasi seimwe yeanonyonganisa munhoroondo yapfuura.
At 2020’s halfway point on July 1, zvisinei, edu epasi uye ehupfumi hupenyu huchave hwakawedzera kugadzikana. That’s the day the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) kuda pinda musimba, kutsiva NAFTA uye kubvumira nyika yedu nhatu kunakidzwa kwakarongeka kutengeserana hukama zvakare.
As farmers from each of the USMCA’s three nations, we’ve written previously about the importance of this trade agreement. mu 2018 uye 2019, takakurudzira hurumende dzedu uye vamiriri vekutengesa kuti vapedze chibvumirano ichi. Zvino, we want to thank them for what they’ve done-and remind everyone that we should be grateful for our vital partnership.
Ichi chingave chiri chikuru chidzidzo che 2020: Usatore chero chinhu, whether it’s the ability to visit elderly relatives or even toilet paper on grocery-store shelves. Iwe haumboziva kana zvese zvichachinja.
Kune varimi kudunhu rese, NAFTA yakashanda zvakanaka kuchizvarwa. It didn’t matter if you grew wheat on the plains of Saskatchewan in Canada, yakagadzira cheki mumakomo eVermont muUnited States, kana kurera mombe dzemukaka munzvimbo dzakakwirira dzeMexico.
That’s what we do and where we do it-and each of us benefitted from this economic relationship.
Seizvo varimi vakabudirira, nevamwe vatengi. Canada yakatipa hove negorosi. United States yakapa chibage nemukaka. Mexico yakakura miriwo minyoro. We became each other’s biggest trading partners, kutumira kunze uye kuendesa kunze zvigadzirwa vanhu vedu zvavaida.
Mune dzimwe nzira, asi, kubatsirwa kukuru ndiyo yatakafungidzira: pfungwa yekuti NAFTA yaizogara iripo.
Isu pamwe tingadai takafara kuva ne NAFTA kuenderera nekusingaperi, kana kuti kwenguva yakareba. Pakabva pasvika nyonganiso yezvematongerwo enyika ye 2016 uye 2018, sevateedzeri vemutungamiri wenyika VaDonald Trump kuUnited States uye Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador kuMexico vakunda sarudzo dzavo uye vasina mubvunzo nezvechinangwa uye nekugona kwe NAFTA.
Kwechinguva, zvinoita kunge hukama hwedu hwekutengeserana hungaparara. Panzvimbo pekubvumidza zvigadzirwa nemasevhisi kuti ayerere kumiganhu yedu nekuita kukurukurirana kwakanaka, takatarisana netarisiro yezvipingamupinyi zvitsva nenzira yemitero yekudzivirira uye mirau inokuvadza.
Isu takanga tatora NAFTA, uye pakarepo takanga tave pedyo nekurasikirwa.
Aya matambudziko akatimanikidza kutarisana nezvimwe zvakaoma zvinhu. Kune zvese zvaro kubatsira, NAFTA yakanga isisakwanise kushanda. Yakasainwa kusati kwatanga internet, which means it didn’t account for how the web has transformed our economies. Izvo zvaive zvishoma zvekutaura nezve biotechnology, iyo yakaumbazve zvekurima nechishamiso chesainzi cheGMO. Uye yaivewo nekutengeserana kwakakanganiswa, involving access to each other’s markets-minor points in the grand scheme of things, asi zvinoshungurudza isu vedu vanofanirwa kuvakunda mumabhizimusi edu ekurima.
USMCA inogadzirisa akawanda eiyi mapoinzi, kuvimbisa ramangwana riri nani remamwe mabasa, mitengo yezvikafu iri nani, nekusimudzira upfumi hwenyika.
Zvakanakisa zvezvose, zvisinei, is that we’ll regain the certainty that we had lost.
Hapana anoziva kuti ramangwana rakamira sei: Ichauya gore rinouya kuunza kusanaya? Kudengenyeka kuchaputsa masimirwo? Tekinoroji nyowani ichachinja here maitiro atinoita bhizinesi?
We do our best to anticipate what’s ahead, kugadzira zvirongwa zvinozvidavirira. Asi zvakawanda zvacho hazvisi nyore kuzvidzora.
Kutengeserana mutemo, zvisinei, zvakakwana mukati mehutongi hwevatungamiriri vanomirimira.
Kwemakore mashoma, nekuda kwemibvunzo yaive yakakomberedza North American yekutengeserana matai, we struggled to know whether we’d enjoy the ability to buy and sell our products with each other.
Iri raive dambudziko rekufunga kwedu tega kwezvematongerwo enyika uye ikozvino, nekutenda, kuiswa kweUSMCA kunozvigadzirisa.
Musi waChikunguru 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.
