from BC Food News · host Podcraftr

On the latest episode of The-Food-&-Wine-Radio-Network that Jennifer English hosts, we discover how the Canadian seafood sector is making substantial strides in expanding market access. Thanks to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Canadian seafood, fish, and aquatic products can now reach consumers in Vietnam, Oman, Brazil, Armenia, and Costa Rica. These markets have welcomed Canadian products due to their premium quality, sustainability, and conscious harvesting practices. The episode accounts for each country's specific gains, from chilled and frozen fillets in Vietnam to ornamental fish feed in Costa Rica, signaling Canada's dedication to diversifying its seafood sector. Industry leaders Heath MacDonald, Joanne Thompson, Timothy Kennedy, and Jason McLinton highlight the importance of regulatory cooperation and the benefit of these market expansions for local communities and producers. It also touches on the impressive figures from past exports, promising new rooms for growth with these developments. https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4706377-1&h=147238554&u=https%3A%2F%2Finspection.canada.ca%2Fen%2Fexporting-food-plants-animals%2Ffood-exports%2Frequirements-library%2Foman-fish-and-seafood&a=Oman+-+Export+requirements+for+fish+and+seafoodPOST datahttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4706377-1&h=3385617371&u=https%3A%2F%2Finspection.canada.ca%2Fen%2Fexporting-food-plants-animals%2Ffood-exports%2Frequirements-library%2Fvietnam-fish-and-seafood&a=Vietnam%C2%A0%E2%80%93+Export+requirements+for+fish+and+seafood+https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4706377-1&h=1919563839&u=https%3A%2F%2Finspection.canada.ca%2Fen%2Fexporting-food-plants-animals%2Ffood-exports%2Frequirements-library%2Fbrazil-fish-and-seafood&a=Brazil%C2%A0%E2%80%93+Export+requirements+for+fish+and+seafoodhttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4706377-1&h=2135990525&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FCFIACanada&a=CFIACanadahttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4706377-1&h=2628329667&u=https%3A%2F%2Finspection.canada.ca%2Fen%2Fexporting-food-plants-animals%2Ffood-exports%2Frequirements-library%2Farmenia-fish-and-seafood&a=Armenia+-+Export+requirements+for+fish+and+seafoodhttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4706377-1&h=3231413227&u=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2FInspectionCan&a=%40InspectionCanhttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4706377-1&h=225170752&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fchannel%2FUCaaeZ7z9HAK0-TGLBFGk4gw&a=%40CFIAhttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4706377-1&h=2016813237&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fcompany%2Fcanadian-food-inspection-agency%2F%3FviewAsMember%3Dtrue&a=Canadian+Food+Inspection+Agencyhttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4706377-1&h=4131277947&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fcfia_canada%2F&a=%[email protected]://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4706377-1&h=3589511645&u=https%3A%2F%2Finspection.canada.ca%2Fen&a=inspection.canada.ca.%C2%A0+
