The United States announced Chile has approved an agreement between the two countries that further enhances the existing U.S.-Chile Free Trade Agreement, which marked its 20th anniversary earlier this year and is one of the oldest agreements for both countries. The exchange of letters contained in this agreement formalize protections for U.S. cheese exports to Chile, which make up over half of all U.S. dairy exports to Chile and exceeded $55 million in 2023. At the urging of the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and fellow industry representatives, the Biden Administration engaged in negotiations on an exchange of letters to attach to the existing U.S.-Chile free trade agreement (FTA) that would further protect some U.S. cheeses from losing access once the EU’s GI commitments enter into force.
