Mexico is Canada’s 4th largest market for pork exports, growing by 20% in 2025. Thank you to Minister @CornwallHeath for inviting our President & CEO @KylePLarkin to join you yesterday to meet with importers of Canadian pork to discuss opportunities to continue growing exports.

Le bœuf canadien est désormais servi dans plus de 600 restaurants à travers le Vietnam et vendu dans plus de 4 000 supermarchés. L'agriculture est un pilier de plus en plus important de nos relations commerciales avec le Vietnam, qu'il s'agisse du bœuf, des fruits de mer ou des fruits canadiens. C'est formidable de pouvoir s'asseoir avec eux et de voir comment ce partenariat crée des opportunités pour les agriculteurs, les travailleurs et les exportateurs canadiens.

Canadian beef is now served in more than 600 restaurants across Vietnam and stocked in over 4,000 supermarkets. Agriculture is a growing pillar of our trade relationship with Vietnam, from beef and seafood to Canadian fruit. Great to sit down with them and see how this partnership is creating opportunity for Canadian farmers, workers, and exporters.
