Beef from America is now cheaper because of a special deal called a Free Trade Agreement, or FTA. An FTA is a promise between countries to trade goods without extra taxes. For 14 years, the import tax on U.S. beef had been slowly declining. This January, it reached 0%! This change will also apply to 45 other agricultural and marine products, including cheese, tangerines, and walnuts. The agreement makes our shopping easier and helps our economy grow!
