On May 8, 2017, Minister Carlos of Ministry of Agriculture of Mexico China Office and his delegation visited CNSA, and carried out preliminary negotiation on further promoting import and export of nuts and pecans between China and Mexico. Weng Yangyang, the executive vice chairman of CNSA, and personnel from Technology Department and Marketing Department received them.

Minister Carlos said Mexico is the world largest pecan exporter and the second largest pecan producing country, while the China-oriented export ways of Mexico pecans are carrying trade (Hong Kong and Macao). Therefore, he wished to strengthen direct import/export mode between China and Mexico. In recent years, the tariff for agricultural trade between the two countries is further lower, providing favorable opportunity for both sides to increase trades.

Weng Yangyang expressed her gratitude toward Minister Carlos for their visit. As the world largest nuts market and processing base, China also wished to increase pecan trade directly imported from Mexico, and meanwhile suggested Ministry of Agriculture of Mexico strengthen information communication about nuts industry by participating in exhibition meeting, face-to-face communication so as to set up favorable mutual-trust relationship and push trade cooperation of both two countries.

Both sides reached consensus on promoting trade cooperation, strengthening industrial communication and setting up mutual-trust relation.
