Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister, Lawrence MacAulay, wrapped up a week-long mission to China, where he promoted Canadian agricultural products and discussed ways of strengthening agricultural trade between the two countries.
As part of a pilot project agreed to by both countries in 2017, the first Canadian shipment of chilled pork was exported to China this month. Seventeen Canadian federally registered meat establishments are now eligible to export chilled beef derived from cattle under-thirty-months of age and/or chilled pork to China.
The Canadian meat industry estimates the increased export values from this expansion of Canada's meat access to China, could be worth upwards of $100 million for pork and $125 million for beef over the next five years.
