Bibeau says Indo-Pacific Region holds tremendous opportunities

Federal Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau has returned from a successful trade mission to Asia.

Bibeau took part in the G7 Agriculture Ministers' Meeting and held bilateral meetings with her counterparts from Japan and Singapore.

Her visit focused on deepening and diversifying agriculture trade, promoting Canadian agriculture and agri-food products, with discussions around net zero initiatives,  sustainable agriculture, resilient agricultural systems, and food security.

Research shows the Indo-Pacific is likely to make up two-thirds of the middle class by 2030, and over half of global GDP by 2040.

She says the region presents tremendous economic opportunities for Canada's agriculture and agri-food sector.
