Agricultural Market Access Secretariat

In early January 2009, the Government of Canada announced plans to implement several key industry recommendations presented at the Beef Value Chain Round Table (BVCRT) meeting in November.

The federal government will create a new export technical market access secretariat to work full-time on aggressively and strategically securing access to international markets. With the co-ordinating efforts of the secretariat’s trade experts, industry and government trade initiatives will work cohesively to promote agricultural exports worldwide, and effectively eliminate any technical barriers to Canadian exports.

Stay tuned as more details on the secretariat become available.
