G20 Agricultural Ministers hold talks

Federal Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau has had a busy agenda this week. 

Following her visit to the Phillipines she took part in the G20 Agriculture Ministers' Meeting where they discussed what is at stake for the future of agriculture.

"The G-20 meetings provided an important opportunity for Canada to highlight our ability to support global demand and have food security, which is rapidly decreasing as a result of Russia's invasion. It was also an opportunity to promote Canadian agricultural interests regarding trade supply chains and environmental sustainability."

Bibeau also had bilateral meetings with her counterparts from Indonesia, the US, India, the EU and Turkey to discuss growing trade opportunities for Canadian farmers 
and food processors.
