Thank you for your question.
You're absolutely right to say that China remains a significant market for Canada's pork industry. This market also offers value for certain pork cuts that are much less valuable in other markets. It's a challenge to replace China. That's why we established an office in Manila. This office will give us the chance to help the agri‑food sector tap into other markets in the Indo‑Pacific region.
It's also true that the pork sector receives significant funding from the AgriMarketing program. Increased program funding will create opportunities to expand this sector's efforts abroad.
