Federal ag minister Heath MacDonald to visit Mexico

The Honourable Heath MacDonald, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, will be leading a ministerial mission to Mexico from October 14 to 17, 2025. The Minister will travel to Mexico City, where he will connect with provincial counterparts and industry representatives who will be attending the Tri-National Accord later that week. He will then travel to Guadalajara to continue his outreach with key Mexican stakeholders.

“Canada and Mexico share a strong partnership shaped by years of collaboration and more than three decades of free trade,” says MacDonald. “This trip is about further strengthening our ties, developing relationships, and creating opportunities that will drive growth and prosperity in both of our nations.”

This visit will seek to further strengthen Canada’s bilateral relationship and expand agricultural cooperation, building on the September meeting between Prime Minister Carney and President Sheinbaum, where the Canada-Mexico Action Plan 2025-2028 was announced.

In Mexico, Minister MacDonald will meet with Julio Berdegué, Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development and Javier Calderon, the Head of Mexico’s National Health Safety and Quality Service. They will focus on diversifying and growing trade between the two nations.
