MEXICO CITY, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Mexico sugar producers said on Wednesday they plan to export 750,000 tonnes of sugar mostly to the United States over the next three months to fill demand after a blast destroyed a major U.S. sugar refinery.
The exports take advantage of new trade rules that lifted all barriers to free trade in sweeteners on Jan. 1 between Mexico and the United States, one of the last protected industries under the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA.
U.S. sugar producers fear an increase in Mexican sugar imports will crush U.S. prices but Mexico says they can fill demand after last week's fire and explosion in a Georgia sugar refinery owned by Imperial Sugar.

Importance: Mexico is taking advantage of its new freedoms, which is a great thing. Since they seem to want to intergrate our economies they are moving in t right direction.
