Mexico will be the new Chair of AMIS, taking over responsibilities from the European Union at the next meeting of the Global Food Market Information Group in June. Represented through Ms. Adriana Herrera, Mexico was unanimously elected by fellow country focal points at the 10th session of the AMIS Rapid Response Forum.

As a G20 member, Mexico has been engaged in the development and consolidation of AMIS “towards becoming a reliable mechanism to provide information on key food commodities”, Ms. Herrera explained. By taking over the chairmanship, Mexico seeks to further strengthen open dialogue between countries and collaboration in the areas of market information and transparency.
