Montana Lt. Governor Cooney Leads Trade Delegation to Mexico

Montana-Mexico barley trade relationship focus of trip

Lt. Governor Mike Cooney this week is leading a trade delegation to Mexico to visit with executives from several of Mexico’s largest brewers about the quality of Montana barley and the importance of the Montana-Mexico trade relationship. The mission is sponsored by the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee (MWBC) in coordination with the United States Grain Council.

"Mexico is the United States’ third largest trading partner and the largest importer of U.S. malt barley," said Lt. Governor Cooney. "The trade relationship has become increasingly significant for Montana barley growers and it’s vitally important to our agriculture industry that we reaffirm and build these relationships."
