Abstract: [fre] L'ALENA est décrite ainsi que les principales dispositions concernant l'agriculture. Les mesures tarifaires et non tarifaires modifient les avantages commerciaux des pays de la région et avec le Mexique. Mais les jeux ne sont pas faits car d'autres accords peuvent redistribuer ces avantages et les avantages compétitifs à l'exportation peuvent jouer un rôle plus important que les préférences commerciales. [eng] ALENA : its implications for caribbean and central america exports to US . The main features of alena are described, with emphasis on agriculture. Because of changes in tariff and non tariff protection rules, relative competitivenesses are changing, both between countries within the region, and between the region and Mexico. This does not mean that the new emerging situation will last for long. New agreements may reshaffle the cards again. Above all, permanent comparative advantages are probably more important than preferences in explaining trade.
