Canada has signed new agreements securing access for canola and beef.
Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, the Honourable Lawrence MacAulay and Minister of International Trade, the Honourable Chrystia Freeland welcomed the announcement that Canada and China have signed agreements supporting the export of canola and beef, claiming to help farmers by creating jobs, opportunities and growth in the agriculture sector.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and China's Premier Li Keqiang agreed to a memorandum of understanding that outlines Canadian exports of canola to China.
The Government of Canada says, the agreement provides a science-based approach for Canadian canola producers and allows trade between the two countries to continue on an uninterrupted basis through early 2020.
Exports of canola will continue under existing conditions.
