Preparing to Export Agri-foods

What to Expect

Welcome to Preparing to Export Agri-foods! Agri-food is a vital part of all people’s lives, as well as the Canadian economy. In this e-course, we will help agri-food suppliers export their products by identifying their target market(s), navigating regulations, identifying modes of transportation and distribution, as well as providing resources and programs for support.

Canada’s agri-foods are internationally renowned for its high standards of quality and food safety, making it a prime commodity to export.
