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.
