Council went to China to talk trade.
They were with federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay who was also trying to stave off Chinese restrictions on Canadian canola.
China announced an anti-dumping investigation on Canadian canola right after Canada announced a 100 per cent tariff on Chinese-made electrical vehicles.
Canadian Pork Council chairman René Roy said the mission comes at a pivotal time.
“Canadian pork producers are passionate about building strong trading relationships with China. Having one of our government’s most senior ministers attending this mission is an indication of that commitment.”
“We have always been committed to providing world-class, sustainable pork, and we know there is potential to provide even more if required to meet the growing demand in China,” Roy said.
