The Honourable Heath MacDonald, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, travelled to China this past week to engage with senior government officials, and to meet with key Chinese and Canadian industry leaders to facilitate new business opportunities and promote Canada's high-quality agriculture and agri-food products.
Minister MacDonald delivered remarks at the opening of the Canadian Meat Advocacy Office, where he highlighted the legacy of trust the industry has built with Chinese consumers. He emphasized the value of this new office, which will give the sector on-site presence in China to better work with local intermediaries in securing access for Canadian meat products.
The opening of the Canadian Meat Advocacy Office is partly supported, along with other advocacy activities, by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's (AAFC) AgriMarketing Program. This funding is provided to the Canadian Meat Council to identify and address trade challenges and market access issues to ensure a continued growth of trade for the Canadian red meat industry.
Canada’s relationship with China is long-standing and China remains an important commercial market for Canadian businesses. Throughout the mission, Minister MacDonald reiterated that Canada is committed to engaging in constructive dialogue with China on bilateral trade matters.
