E.  aPolicy, economics and trade with South America.  c2007  aOriginally presented at a meeting of the Farm Foundation Round Table, January 5th, 2007, Hilton Ponce Golf & Casino Resort, Ponce, Puerto Rico.  aMy remarks are divided into three parts. First, I will provide some historical perspective on the long-term trends in policy for countries in the region. Second, I will provide some data on trends in the agricultural sector of the region in the post-World War II period. Third, I will take a look to the future and speculate a bit about some of the major driving forces that may be driving developments in the region. At the end I will have some concluding comments. The title that was given me referred only to South America. However, for much of the analysis I will add Mexico to the countries of Latin America. Mexico is a fairly large country, and is of particular interest because of Nafta, the North American Free Trade Agreement.  aAgricultura  aPolítica Econômica  aComércio com a América do Sul  aCommodities  tRevista de Política Agrícola, Brasília, DF, ano 16gn. 2, p. 22-33, abr./jun. 2007.
