Cesar
Urias, the director of market access with Canada Pork International, told
reporter Harry Siemans that a few years ago Canada’s exports were about half of
production, but now it’s 60 to 65 per cent.
“Probably
Canada right now stands as the fourth largest producer and the third largest
exporter of Canadian pork and pork products worldwide,” says Urias.
He said
exports are likely to continue taking a higher percentage of Canadian pork production.
