More than one-third of the roughly $16 million in state ice cream exports went to Mexico last year. \u0026ldquo;There\u0026rsquo;s a sizable market to be tapped in the ice cream sector, there\u0026rsquo;s no doubt about that,\u0026rdquo; said Usha Nair-Reichert, an economist at \u003Cstrong\u003EGeorgia Tech\u003C\/strong\u003E. She questioned pulling out of NAFTA, especially given the economic interdependence of the three countries. She also pointed out that if disagreements with Mexico cause the Peso to fall, Mexican exports become more competitive.
