Canada Outbound Trade Mission to Toronto

Canada is the top destination for U.S. exports of high-value agricultural products, with a total of $16.2 billion exported to Canada. Some of the top export categories include: fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, meats, prepared food, snack food, and pet food. Overall, at $20.2 billion, Canada is the second largest export market for U.S. agricultural products. Consumer-oriented agricultural goods account for nearly 80 percent of U.S. exports to Canada, followed by intermediate goods and bulk commodities.

This mission will take place in Toronto, which is in the province of Ontario and Canada’s most populous city at 2.6 million. The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) has an estimated population of 6.1 million, accounting for 16% of the national population and making up North America’s fifth largest urban area. The GTA population is expected to increase to 9.1 million by 2036. Toronto’s food and beverage cluster is the second largest – and the fastest growing – in North America.

This Canada Outbound Trade Mission is ideal for new exporters who want to learn about the Canadian market through interactive Canadian market and labelling presentations. Participants will also have an opportunity to tour major grocery chain and specialty gourmet stores and meet one-on-one with food brokers, distributors and select specialty gourmet store buyers.
