Canada's fish and seafood exports on an upward trend in 2017
China was Canada's main importer of fish and seafood products, with shipments increasing in 2017 by 25% or $194 million compared with 2016. China was followed closely by Japan, with its fish and seafood imports from Canada increasing by 13% or $40 million.
US imports of fish and seafood from Canada were steady in 2017 at a value of $4.3 billion.
"With $6.9 billion exports just last year, our fish and seafood sector is strong and growing. Our government is committed to continuing to expand trade and economic opportunities for Canadian business," said Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard.
Canada’s top three species exported globally in 2017 were lobster ($2.1 billion), snow/queen crab ($1.0 billion), and Atlantic salmon ($909 million). These Canadian products, and many more, will be showcased at Seafood Expo North America in Boston, Massachusetts, from March 11-13, 2018.
