Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz held key bilateral meetings with the Chinese government that have yielded key developments benefitting a wide range of producers, processors and exporters across Canada's robust agricultural economy.
During their meeting, Minister Ritz signed two protocols with Vice Minister Wei, one to secure access for timothy hay to China, which industry estimates to be worth $8 million over the next five years, and the other to modernize our countries' live swine protocol, reflecting recent animal health and disease control science-based approaches. Industry expects this protocol will boost Canadian live swine competitiveness in China and result in sales of up to $11 million annually.
