Minister MacDonald concludes first trade mission to strengthen ties and promote Canadian agriculture and agri-food in the Indo-Pacific

The BC Food News podcast, hosted by Jennifer English, details the successful seven-day trade mission to the Indo-Pacific by Canadian Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald. Joined by many of Canada's top agricultural stakeholders, they explored opportunities to expand the export of Canadian agri-food products. They met with senior government officials, industry leaders, and importers, facilitating discussions about potential trade, innovation, food safety, and the Canadian Brand. A key highlight was the World Food Expo in the Philippines. Stakeholders valued the face to face meetings as a way to build trust and explore mutual benefits. The mission points to a promising future for Canadian agri-food exports in the rapidly growing Indo-Pacific region. POST data
