Kitzhaber in Mexico on Trade Mission
MEXICO CITY (AP)— Gov. John
Kitzhaber is on a trade mission in
Mexico, the first o f its kind from Or­
egon to Latin America. Oregon’s an­
nual exports to Mexico have grown
from about $43 million in 1990 to over
$ 1 billion today. “I think the real key
here is Oregon products are o f a very
high quality, they’re in great demand
and they’re recognized internation­
ally,” he said. Oregon ranks 15th
among U.S. states selling to Mexico.
Mexico is the state’s fourth-ranked
trading partner behind South Korea,
Japan and Canada. Kitzhaber said the
trade trip is “a real opportunity for us
to expand our business opportuni­
ties” withM exicoanda“platform... for
further expansion into other Latin
American countries.” The Oregon del­
egation is heavily represented by the
agricultural industry, which does not
yet receive full benefits from NAFTA,
a treaty that phases in over 15 years.
Kitzhaber had a personal briefing
withU.S. Ambassador Jeffrey Davidow
Monday and was told that while agri­
cultural goods make up about 6 per­
cent o f American exports to Mexico,
they are responsible for about half o f
the trade disputes. Port o f Portland
representative Susanne Miller said the
port is looking at improving travel con­
nections to Mexico. There are no direct
flights now, she said, and no Mexican
carrier serves the Pacific Northwest.
In preparation for the oncoming Tri-Met Line Sections 10-C
construction project. Hamilton Construction is seeking
qualified DBE Sub-contractors in the following areas,
Trucking, Street Improvements, Paving, Concrete Flatwork,
Sewer Construction, Water Lines and Outdoor Electrical to
use in their proposal.
