Harper Government Boosts Food and Beverage Exports
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/09/15 -- Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
Member of Parliament Chungsen Leung, on behalf of Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, announced today an investment of over $2.1 million to the Canadian Food Exporters Association (CFEA) to help the Canadian food processing industry gain and maintain access to new international markets.
This investment will enable the CFEA to attend international food trade shows, lead outgoing missions in key markets such as Asia, and organize in-store food promotions in the Middle East.
The goal is to increase the number of small to medium-sized food, beverage and ingredient companies that export their products, and in doing so, increase export sales for Canada''s agri-food sector.
