Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz has completed a successful agricultural trade mission to China where he led a delegation of more than 70 people including representatives from 30 associations and companies, provincial Ministers of Agriculture from British Columbia and Manitoba and officials from Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Once in place, the market access gains for beef, cattle, swine, timothy hay, blueberries and cherries that were secured during this trade mission are estimated by industry to be potentially worth more than $400 million annually.
