Canada’s agri-food sector is a vital pillar of the national economy, contributing $143.8 billion annually—around 7% of GDP. China remains one of Canada’s most important and strategic export markets. As global competition intensifies and market access challenges persist, it is critical for Canadian agri-food exporters to strengthen their presence and partnerships in China.
We are entering a new era of opportunity, marked by renewed momentum in Canada-China relations. The recent dialogue between Prime Minister Carney and Chinese Premier Li Qiang and their decision to resume high level government-to-government dialogues to resolve outstanding trade issues, signal a positive shift towards reviving economic cooperation. Building on this momentum, the Canadian Agri-Food Mission to China is a timely initiative that aims to demonstrate Canada’s commitment to the Chinese market, foster deeper partnerships, and enhance market engagement for Canadian agri-food exporters, while leveraging key government and industry relationships to unlock new opportunities.
This mission offers a unique opportunity to align, engage, and grow within China’s evolving agri-food landscape. It is also a critical moment for the Canadian business community to demonstrate its collective commitment to supporting exports to China and advocating for fair and reciprocal market access. Join us in advancing Canada’s agri-food leadership in China.
