Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart is back from his trade mission to Japan.
He says they had a very busy schedule, meeting with companies to promote the Trans-Pacific Partnership as well as promoting market development and investment opportunities:
"They're poising themselves to take another look at Canada," he said. "They are very interested in the food possibilities in Saskatchewan, and so that's one of the main things that trip was about."
He says the TPP-11 is going to be a very beneficial agreement assuming it’s followed through on.
Japan is Saskatchewan’s largest market for non-durum wheat, fifth largest market for durum wheat and our second largest market for canola seed exports.
