Canada is the world’s fourth-largest exporter of agricultural products.
In fact, the agri-food processing sector is among the most competitive in the world. Canada's agriculture and food industry is high-tech, knowledge-based and extremely cost competitive.
To build on this success, Canada has implemented a comprehensive Agricultural Policy Framework. The aim is to make Canada the world leader in food safety, innovation, and environmentally responsible production.
“Canada offered our firm everything we needed to operate our business, which specializes in producing food ingredients by fermentation and the production of citric acid. The right elements included easy access to raw materials, available land, proximity to markets and a good transportation infrastructure with opportunities for expansion.”
