Abstract
This document provides an index and a guide to the activities of the North American
Agrifood Market Integration Consortium (NAAMIC) and its predecessor organization the
Policy Disputes Information Consortium (PDIC). The first meeting of the group took
place in Rio Rico, Arizona in March 1995 and the most recent in Cancun, Mexico in
June 2007. Since 1995 the group has held an annual workshop where issues of
importance to the three member nations of the NAFTA can be discussed in an open and
frank forum. It is one of the few trinational activities where academics, government employees and private sector agents can meet to discuss common problems. The activities of the group are predicated on the belief that unbiased information presented to public and private decision makers can lead to more efficient and better functioning North American markets for agrifood products.
