No...sugar restrictions are specifically included in NAFTA....read the Agreement
Judging from your posts....you folks from DU who troll over here probably don’t read
You see, the sugar guys got the politicians to restrict sugar imports......BEFORE NAFTA.
So if you're blaming NAFTA for them, you're a little late to the party.
Mexico's U.S. Sugar Quota: Mexico's annual U.S. sugar quota prior to NAFTA was approximately 8,000 tons, raw value. This quota reflected Mexico's status as a net importer of sugar. While Mexico's sugar production was roughly 3.2 million tons, sugar consumption growth outstripped sugar production growth, leaving Mexico with the requirement of a relatively large sugar import demand.
In the initial deliberations of the North American Free Trade discussions, Mexico requested a 1.65 million ton quota allocation in the U.S. market. Mexico's quota request of 1.65 million tons, raw value, exceeded the 1.52 million ton quota allocated by the United States to all foreign quota recipients (40 nations) for the 1991-92 quota year. Such a large Mexican quota would have required zero quota allocations to all other foreign nations under the provisions of the 1990 Farm Bill, which required a minimum of 1.25 million tons of U.S. sugar quota to friendly foreign nations. It was unlikely that Congress would ever endorse a NAFTA proposal to concentrate our foreign sugar quotas into the hands of one nation, irrespective of our friendly status with Mexico.

If you still don't understand, on account of all the big words, I'll be happy to translate this down to your 4th grade reading level.
