News on Mexican Food 20082008-09-17 Desolation: Mexican Campesinos and Agriculture in the 21st Century - Business - redOrbitEqually devastating is the undermining of domestic farmers, from the small to larger producers, who cannot compete with cheap agro- imports. Large foreign companies make the profits, as Mexico slips ever deeper into food dependency-during the Fox administration the country spent more than usd. 42 billion on importing basic foods, 55 pct. more than under his predecessor, Ernesto Zedillo. 14 Extrapolating, we may calculate that this figure could approach usd. 100 billion in the 2006-12 presidential term if we take into account that, according to the numbers from Mexicos National Institute of Statistics and Geography, the country imported usd. 5. 7 billion worth of food in the first four months of 2007 alone. Even by around 2002, Mexico depended on imports to fill almost half of its food basket. Now that all Mexican tariffs on foods have been By Zermeno, Sergio THE EUROPEAN UNION HAS STEADFASTLY opposed agricultural trade liberalization, as proposed by the United States, with arguments in favor of food security and employment. 1 And it makes sense that the old continent, which is home, in proportional terms, to five times as many farmers as the United States, sees no incentive in opening its market to cheap, heavily subsidized U. S.
2008-06-24 Small Farmers And The Doha Round: Lessons From Mexicos NAFTA Experience By Mritiunjoy MohantyIt is not just the fact that Mexicos small and marginal farmers have borne the brunt of the adjustment of Mexican agricultures integration into global markets. The spike in food prices in the last couple of years has put enormous pressure on its BOP and the agricultural trade deficit that had begun narrowing has widened sharply, putting in sharp focus issues of food security.

2008-05-25 A Day Late and a Dollar Short - Hurricane Valley JournalAfter visiting Mexico several times, I soon realized that most of our recipes here that are labeled and ldquo;Mexican and rdquo; are really and ldquo;Mexican/American. and rdquo; Every now and again, I will find Mexican chorizo, Mexican oregano and fresh cilantro if I want to make something a little more authentic, but I find that most of my family and friends prefer the Mexican/American blend. However, my son, Wade, loves authentic Mexican food and travels to different parts of Mexico several times a year to fish or visit different locations. He loves the people and the food. He doesn and rsquo;t eat the food prepared in the big cities; but, swears by the little stand on the dusty corner of a small town that makes fresh food as you sit there and chat with them about the sites and places of interest in the area.

2008-09-13 Truth About Trade and Technology - Mexican Government Focuses on Food CostsIn late May, Mexican President Calderon announced actions to increase food imports to protect Mexico consumers from further increases in food prices. The Secretariat of Economy lowered import tariffs on non-fat dried milk from 125 percent to 63 percent and reduced to zero tariffs on basic grains: wheat (when imported between March and September), white corn, yellow corn, grain sorghum, rice and soybean meal.

In late June the Secretariat created a 100,000 metric ton (MT) tariff rate quota (TRQ) for dry beans to be imported between and each year with a zero tariff instead of the normal 125 percent.

2008-12-12 Ole Mole restaurant review - Greenwich TimeOl2 Mol2s menu states that all dishes are prepared daily, using only fresh and natural ingredients. A sampling of the menu holds up this claim quite nicely. The quibble about a lot of Mexican food is that it all "tastes the same," which is often a result of mushy canned beans, soggy rice, and salsas that taste like they came from a jar. This is most definitely not the case here. The kitchen prepares seven salsas daily, ranging from the mild and chunky tomato salsa fresca with only a hint of cilantro to the super-hot chili de arbol salsa with roasted tomato, garlic, onion and the searing chile de arbol. Having sampled them all, our three favorites are the richly authentic, dark and spicy mole negro, which is perhaps the most complex and famous salsa of Mexico; the complex and herbal chiltomate with pasilla, mulato and Ole Mole restaurant review
2008-04-11 City worker wins appeal over Mexican border comments : Updates : The Rocky Mountain NewsWell I dont know about you but would not the money we spend on illegal invading mexican army be better spent on U. S. citizens. My belief is lets start deporting them on a wholesale level so we can free up the jobs for americans. I am tired of people who break the law benefitting from it. If you are here illegaly you are not entitled to anything period. If your government does not want us we dont want you. Let your own country take care of you and pay for it. Also we need to stop giving citizenship to every child a illegal mexican woman drops in this country. They are costing us billions in lost jobs and services we have to pay out to support them. So lets deport them and get rid of the people who are using up resources such as hospitals and gas as well as them causing an increase in our food bills. They have no business being here period, A Denver city employee was suspended after he asked two Hispanic co-workers how much it cost their

2008-01-24 The Final Stage of NAFTA in Mexico: They Are Going To Grind Us Up : IndybayIn addition to ruining farmers, these changes have imposed more hunger on the Mexican people. Since NAFTA went into effect, Mexico has had to import the majority of its food. Speculation in corn prices has led to a rise in tortilla prices of 730 pct. In a concentrated expression of the oppressor/oppressed relationship between the U. S. and Mexico, the amount spent on food imports by Mexicans since NAFTA went into effect is about the same amount as what is sent back to Mexico as remittances by former campesinos who have been forced to the U. S. to be superexploited as undocumented immigrants ( usd. 100 billion).
