IAFP Announces Tier-Pricing Membership Rates

The International Association for Food Protection (IAFP) will revise its Membership rates effective September 1, 2024, allowing for increasing costs in Association operations and meeting expenses over the past several years. Discussions onincreasing rates were 
postponed by the IAFP Executive Board in 2019–2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This rate revision – the first in 17 years – will help keep up with expenses while continuing to provide excellent value for the many benefits IAFP consistently brings to its Members.

In addition, with the increased worldwide interest in food safety, IAFP will allow more accessibility to all potential Members by offering a tiered Membership at various levels based on the World Bank’s classification by gross national income (GNI) per capita. 

The four income groups and prices are:
• $80 High Income
• $40 Upper-Middle Income
• $20 Lower-Middle Income
• $10 Low Income
• Student Membership rates are half of the above rates.

Video: Canada reaches tariff deal with China on canola, electric vehicles

Canada has reached a deal with China to increase the limit of imports of Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) in exchange for Beijing dropping tariffs on agricultural products, such as canola, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday.

The tariffs on canola are dropping to 15 per cent starting on March 1. In exchange for dropping duties on agricultural products, Carney is allowing 49,000 Chinese EVs to be exported to Canada.

Carney described it as a “preliminary but landmark” agreement to remove trade barriers and reduce tariffs, part of a broader strategic partnership with China.
