While the domestic market is important, Canada’s pork industry relies heavily on exporting its products. Canada exports 2/3 of its pork, and is the 3^rd largest pork exporter in the world. Global pork consumption is expected to increase, so opening additional markets and increasing sales in the current buying markets are priorities. However, other countries are also highly competitive in securing trade agreements, so Canada should focus on gaining trade advantages and catering to market access requirements. Five trade priorities should be finalizing CETA to export duty-free pork to the EU, finalizing a free trade agreement with South Korea, negotiating trade deals with Japan to maintain competitiveness, resolving COOL issues with the US, and managing trade restrictions with feed additives like ractopamine.
