Canada wants to strengthen its trade relationship with China
Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay is currently in China to promote Canada's agricultural sector to key industry and government officials, and to strengthen the country's mutually beneficial trading relationship. The country's aim is to increase its global agricultural exports to $75 billion by 2025.
“As the world’s second largest economy, China is a market with significant opportunities for growth. Along with Canadian industry, I will continue to meet with my counterparts and business partners in China to explore ways to make our partnerships even stronger. The economic benefits of an even stronger relationship between our two countries will help all Canadians, including our farmers, processors, fishermen and exporters,” the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food explained.
The Canadian official has attended the China International Import Expo (CIIE) and, along with Canadian industry, met and connected with top Chinese and international importers to promote Canadian agriculture, agri-food and seafood, including representatives from Hema, Alibaba’s innovative offline retail store that distributes Canadian products. Minister MacAulay discussed further opportunities for the Canadian agricultural sector.
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Hema to increase the visibility of, and to further promote Canadian agri-food, fish and seafood, and beverage products in their offline retail stores across China.
Minister MacAulay also attended the China Fisheries and Seafood Expo (CFSE) to highlight the high quality of Canadian fish and seafood exports to China.
