Trade is a major issue in the Manitoba Beef industry.
It’ll be covered in detail at the Manitoba Beef AGM, taking place tomorrow and Friday, in Brandon.
Brian Lemon, the General Manager of MBP, says they have an expert on trade speaking at the conference:
“We do have a speaker coming in, a gentleman, named Fred Gorrell. He is the Assistant Deputy Minister with Agriculture Canada, on the markets and industry sides. We’re excited to have him come in and talk about TPP, and the opportunities for our industry, with the signing of TPP, but also come in and talk about what is happening with NAFTA.”
Fred Gorrell is set to give his presentation tomorrow, at 10 in the morning.
