Canadian beef importers visit UK's meat industry
The group visited four major beef processing plants as well as a lamb processing plant, a beef farm featuring British native breeds and a number of food stores and leading supermarkets.
“This important visit is a major step towards increasing our presence on the Canadian market with the Canada-Europe Comprehensive Trade Agreement (CETA) soon in operation which will eliminate quotas and tariffs for EU beef," said AHDB Head of Livestock Export Trade Development Jean-Pierre Garnier in a statement. “Canada is, of course, major beef producer and exporter. However, they are interested in some specific cuts and offal and we are already selling good volumes to Ontario and Quebec. In addition, we are progressing with some lamb marketing projects in the two Canadian provinces. Canada imports more than half the lamb consumed there."
“In short, this successful visit bodes well for the development of British beef and lamb on the Canadian market.”
