Alberta’s agriculture minister in Washington to discuss importance of free trade

Minister of Agriculture RJ Sigurdson will represent Alberta in Washington, D.C. on Monday to engage in important discussions on how agriculture is beneficial on both sides of the North American border.

“I want every ag producer and processor in our province to know that we have your back and will continue to advocate for your needs during these difficult times,” Sigurdson said in a statement Sunday.

Alberta’s government said the agri-food industry is shaped by exports, and the U.S. is by far Alberta’s – and Canada’s – most important trade partner.

The province said it is committed to protecting and growing the relationship between the two countries.
