Strategic Realignment To "Better Serve" The Barley Industry

Chair Zenneth Faye says the move comes after a months-long comprehensive review of the roles and responsibilities of its partners in the value chain.
 
"The Barley Council of Canada has been in existence now for about five years and the Board felt that it was time to do a review of what our deliverables have been and where we're short falling," he explained. "So we put together a wish list of some places where we need to try and make better and efficient use of our resources internally, but also to efficiently use the dollars that our members pay towards the organization."
 
The move includes Cereals Canada, the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre (CMBTC), and the Brewing and Malting Barley Research Institute (BMBRI).

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.
