The implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on January 1, 1994 created a trading region extending from the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico to the Yukon Region of Alaska with trade between the United States, Canada, and Mexico from 1993 to 1994 grew by over 50% to $753 million to rank 10th among all US states in exports by value to Mexico by the end of 1994. The primary objective of this research has been to identify NAFTA-induced market opportunities for Louisiana's maritime sector and to help define the strategies, maritime services, and port infrastructure requirements necessary to exploit these opportunities. Identification of current deficiencies also need to be referenced.
