Canada Beer, Wine & Spirits Outbound Trade Mission

Canada is a highly developed economic market and a leading export destination for U.S. agricultural products, offering a stable financial market and sophisticated logistics network supporting $136 million USD of daily two-way trade in food and agricultural products. Canada was the number two overseas market for U.S. food and agricultural exports in 2020, importing $17.1 billion of U.S, high value, consumer-oriented goods. Spending on alcoholic beverages during the first three quarters of 2020 was up 8.6% from 2019 at $15.564 billion USD.

This mission will primarily target beer and spirits companies that are already exporting or are ideal candidates for exporting to Canada. The trade mission will include a retail store tour, one-on-one agent meetings, a market overview presentation, and a visit to the 2023 Liquor Board of Ontario (LCBO) Trade Day, an event which includes informative presentations by LCBO leadership and tactical breakout sessions focused on its strategic business plan for the year ahead.
