Over the past five years, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) has improved agricultural market access for New Zealand into Mexico. But there are further opportunities to progress its implementation, as well as significant openness within Mexico to increase agricultural cooperation and engagement with New Zealand.

Mexico is New Zealand’s largest trading partner in Latin America, 27th largest overall, and 24th biggest export market for agricultural products. Through CPTPP, New Zealand now has duty-free access on 79% of Mexico’s tariff lines, with tariffs continuing to phase out on a further 19.5% of lines.  By 2027, New Zealand will have duty-free access on over 97% of Mexico’s tariff lines, and just under 99% by 2033.  In addition, New Zealand has duty-free access through CPTPP for specified volumes of dairy products into Mexico through shared quotas.
