Bison Industry Looking To Grow Exports

Bison producers from across Canada are wrapping up their Annual Conference with the Bison Sale at Canadian Western Agribition.
 
Bison Producer Les Kroeger says they had strong attendance for the conference this year which highlighted some of the research results they’ve been working on which will be released publically in the future.
 
He notes one of the biggest concerns for the Bison industry is growing the export market but their making strides.
 
“We've established a good relationship with the U-S in ensuring that those relations and export opportunities are always available to producers. We've seen a lot of growth in the European export you know with the ratifying of CETA. Those are positive things for our industry.”

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.
