Canadian Meat Industry Opens Advocacy Office in China

Canadian Red Meat Industry to Launch Canadian Meat Advocacy Office in Beijing

In collaboration with the Canadian Meat Council (CMC), the Canadian Pork Council (CPC), and the Canadian Cattle Association (CCA), Canada’s red meat industry is pleased to announce the establishment of the Canadian Meat Advocacy Office in Beijing, China. This office represents a strategic investment in strengthening the Canadian pork and beef industries’ presence and partnership with the Chinese market.

Canada’s red meat industry has built a legacy of trust with Chinese consumers through its reliable, sustainable, and high-quality products. The new Beijing office will serve as a dynamic hub for advancing Canada’s longstanding commitment to China’s impressive and competitive market.

After years of preparation, in partnership with the Canadian government, the Canada China Business Council (CCBC), and industry leaders, this initiative will enhance support for Canadian producers and processors in meeting Chinese consumer demand.

“The opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to such an important market is something we’re thrilled about,” said David Typer, Chair of the Canadian Meat Advocacy Board. “Our next step is hiring a representative in China, after which the office will become operational.”

This initiative, a first of its kind, aims to strengthen connections with the Chinese red meat sector, government agencies, and consumers alike, fostering an enduring relationship between the two countries.

Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Video: Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Indoor sheep farming in winter at pre-lambing time requires that, at Ewetopia Farms, we need to clean out the barns and manure in order to keep the sheep pens clean, dry and fresh for the pregnant ewes to stay healthy while indoors in confinement. In today’s vlog, we put fresh bedding into all of the barns and we remove manure from the first groups of ewes due to lamb so that they are all ready for lambs being born in the next few days. Also, in preparation for lambing, we moved one of the sorting chutes to the Coveralls with the replacement ewe lambs. This allows us to do sorting and vaccines more easily with them while the barnyard is snow covered and hard to move sheep safely around in. Additionally, it frees up space for the second groups of pregnant ewes where the chute was initially.
