Canada: Exporter Guide
In 2015, Canada regained the position as the top destination by value for U.S. agricultural exports; a total of $21 billion. As global exports slowed down last year, the Canadian market remained a resilient with a minimal slowdown in U.S. exports of -4.2 compared to double-digit slow down experienced in other leading foreign export markets. More importantly, of the total U.S. exports, 16.5 billion are made up of high-value product; this amount is double to that of the second leading market, Mexico and equal to the combined Asian market of Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, China and Taiwan. This report is a practical guide for U.S. food exporters interested in marketing and shipping products to Canada. We encourage first-time exporters and new-to-market companies to read thoroughly through this report and use it as a reference guide.
