Canadian beef farmers receive funding to expand international trade
"We appreciate this boost from the AgriMarketing Program to help fund our ongoing efforts to tell and sell the world on the quality of Canadian beef, on behalf of our producers", said Nathan Phinney, CCA president.
Increasing trade in foreign markets will boost economic activity in Canada and positively impact farmers and businesses at all levels of the supply chain. "It’s CCA’s role to continue to foster markets internationally for our quality products and we are finding the world wants more of what our beef producers provide", Phinney said.
Canada’s minister of agriculture Lawrence MacAulay announced the investment during a beef cooking demonstration at Canada Beef’s Calgary office.
"Canadian beef has earned a top spot on the world stage because of the commitment to quality and sustainability that our producers hold themselves to", said MacAulay. "By continuing to promote Canadian beef in key foreign markets, we can make the sector more competitive, put more money in the pockets of producers, and drive demand for our world-class Canadian beef".
The Canadian Cattle Association is receiving this funding to help expand and develop market access in existing markets, including the United States and Japan, and emerging markets, including Vietnam, for beef products by conducting a number of trade advocacy activities, such as multilateral meetings and providing support on ministerial activities.
