Organic growers need U.S. market


 

Canada’s organic industry has been cautioned to keep quiet about North American trade issues during the upcoming review of the trade deal among Canada, the United States and Mexico.


Matt Holmes, executive vice-president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, said the current trade deal has done a good job of shielding it from United States President Donald Trump’s tariffs.


He was speaking in Saskatoon just before the Organic Connections Conference and Trade Show.


He told the organic industry leaders that they can quietly work away at things they want to improve in the trade deal, but should refrain from making noise in the media.
