Canada opens Indo-Pacific Agriculture and Agri-Food Office in Philippines

The Canadian Pork Council (CPC) celebrates Canada's significant investment in the Asia-Pacific market with the launch of a new Indo-Pacific Agriculture and Agri-Food Office in Manila, Philippines, CPC announced late last month.

The initiative, a joint venture between Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, underscores Canada's commitment to fostering ties in the Indo-Pacific region and promoting the Canadian pork industry on the international stage.

The inauguration of the office represents a pivotal moment for Canadian pork producers, providing enhanced access to key markets and facilitating trade relationships in the Indo-Pacific, CPC said.

With a focus on promoting the quality and safety of Canadian pork products, the office will serve as a vital resource for industry stakeholders seeking to navigate regulatory frameworks and seize opportunities for growth in international markets.
