Ho tloha seoa sa Covid-19 le litaelo tsa eona tsa ho lula hae ho ea boipelaetso khahlanong le botlokotsebe ba mapolesa le likhang tsohle tsa bona, selemong sena e tla theoha e le e 'ngoe ea pherekano ho fetisisa nalaneng ea morao tjena.
At 2020’s halfway point on July 1, Leha ho le joalo, lefatÅ¡e la rona le bophelo ba moruo bo tla ba le botsitso hanyane. That’s the day the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) tla kena ka matla, ho nka sebaka sa NAFTA le ho lumella linaha tsa rona tse tharo ho thabela likamano tse hlophisehileng tsa khoebo hape.
As farmers from each of the USMCA’s three nations, we’ve written previously about the importance of this trade agreement. ka 2018 le 2019, re khothalelitse mebuso ea rona le baemeli ba tsona ba khoebo hore ba qete mosebetsi ona. Joale, we want to thank them for what they’ve done-and remind everyone that we should be grateful for our vital partnership.
Ena e ka ba thuto e ka sehloohong ea 2020: U se ke ua nyahamisetsa letho, whether it’s the ability to visit elderly relatives or even toilet paper on grocery-store shelves. Ha ho mohla u tla tseba hore na tsohle li tla fetoha neng.
Bakeng sa balemi kontinenteng eohle ea rona, NAFTA e sebelitse hantle bakeng sa moloko. It didn’t matter if you grew wheat on the plains of Saskatchewan in Canada, e hlahisitse chisi maralleng a Vermont, United States, kapa a ruile likhomo tsa lebese libakeng tse phahameng tsa Mexico bohareng.
That’s what we do and where we do it-and each of us benefitted from this economic relationship.
Jwalo ka ha balemi ba ile ba atleha, joalo ka bareki. Canada e re file litlhapi le koro. United States e fane ka poone le lebese. Mexico ho ile ha lema meroho e mecha. We became each other’s biggest trading partners, ho rekisa le ho kenya lihlahisoa tseo batho ba rona ba li batlang.
Ka tsela tse itseng, leha ho le joalo, phaello e kholo ke eo re ileng ra e nka habobebe: mohopolo oa hore NAFTA kamehla e tla ba teng.
Mohlomong re ka be re thabetse hore NAFTA e tsoele pele ka ho sa feleng, kapa bonyane ka nako e telele. Eaba ho latela pherekano ea lipolotiki 2016 le 2018, joalo ka baemeli ba mopulist e mong oa mopresidente Donald Trump oa United States le Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador oa Mexico ba hapile likhetho tsa bona mme ba belaella sepheo le bokhoni ba NAFTA.
Bakeng sa nakoana, ho ne ho bonahala eka likamano tsa rona tsa khoebo li ka oa. Sebakeng sa ho lumella thepa le lits'ebeletso ho phallela meeling ea rona ka katleho e buisaneng, re ile ra tobana le tebello ea litšitiso tse ncha ka mokhoa oa tefo ea ts'ireletso le melao e kotsi.
Re ne re amohetse NAFTA habobebe, 'me ka tšohanyetso re ne re le mothating oa ho e lahla.
Mathata ana a ile a re qobella ho tobana le linnete tse ling tse thata. Bakeng sa melemo eohle ea eona, NAFTA e ne e sa sebetse letho. E ne e tekennoe pele ho tla ha marang-rang, which means it didn’t account for how the web has transformed our economies. E ne e sa bue letho ka biotechnology, e fetotseng temo ka mohlolo oa mahlale oa li-GMO. E ne e boetse e na le litÅ¡itiso tsa khoebo, involving access to each other’s markets-minor points in the grand scheme of things, empa ho soabisa ho rona ba tlamehang ho ba hlola khoebong ea rona ea temo.
USMCA e lokisa lintlha tsena tse ngata, ho tšepisa bokamoso bo nepahetseng ba mesebetsi e mengata, litheko tse ntle tsa lijo, le kholo ea moruo e tsitsitseng.
Ho molemo ho feta tsohle, Leha ho le joalo, is that we’ll regain the certainty that we had lost.
Ha ho na motho ea tsebang hore na bokamoso bo tšoere eng: Selemo se tlang se tla tlisa komello? Na tšisinyeho ea lefatše e tla senya meralo ea motheo? Na mahlale a macha a tla fetola tsela eo re etsang khoebo ka eona?
We do our best to anticipate what’s ahead, ho etsa merero e ikarabellang bakeng sa eona. Empa boholo ba eona ha bo khone ho ba taolong ea rona.
Leano la khoebo, Leha ho le joalo, e ka tlas'a taolo ea baetapele ba re emelang ka botlalo.
Ka lilemo tse 'maloa, ka lebaka la lipotso tse neng li pota-potile maqhama a khoebo ea Amerika Leboea, we struggled to know whether we’d enjoy the ability to buy and sell our products with each other.
Sena e ne e le bothata ba boitlamo ba rona ba lipolotiki le hona joale, ka lehlohonolo, ts'ebetsong ea USMCA ea e rarolla.
Ka Phupu 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.
