Mexico Trade 2020

The Mexican logistics sector, once the burgeoning cargo hub of the region, faces some of its most difficult challenges of recent years due to the country’s stagnant economy, falling auto production and lowest volume of cargo moving through the ports in six years. Yet, there are still some positive signs, most notably the signing today of the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA).

The third JOC Mexico Trade Conference, July 27-29, will leverage, data, top industry executives and subject matter experts from IHS Markit and others to analyze where Mexico trade is headed following approval of the USMCA. The objective of this event is to enable cargo owners, carriers and other logistics service providers to be optimally positioned strategically as North American trade becomes increasingly regionalized.

The conference, to this end, will put the peak season under the spotlight, look at the challenges facing the railroads, trucking sector and the ports, and assess the new technology and trends emerging in Mexican supply chains.
