Support for Canadian agri-food exporters

Demand is rising in the Asia‑Pacific and Latin America, driven by a growing middle class, rapid urbanization and changing food habits. In Europe, there’s strong demand for sustainable and innovative agri-food solutions, which aligns well with Canadian strengths. Expanding organic equivalency arrangements and free trade agreements are also making it easier for Canadian companies to access these regions.

EDC supports market diversification by providing market intelligence, financial solutions and global connections that help you enter new regions. You can use our research on emerging opportunities, get support to manage cash flow and tap into our global network to find reliable partners outside the U.S.

You can protect yourself with our credit insurance solutions. These solutions cover non-payment by international customers, letting you offer competitive payment terms and reduce the risk of selling to unfamiliar customers.

Companies that meet basic criteria—Canada‑based, exporting or export‑ready and able to fulfill international demand—can qualify for our Business Connections Program and connect with vetted global buyers. Sign in or create a free MYEDC account to get more information.

Exporters can access guidance, tools and vetted partners to manage shipping, cold chain and logistics needs with InList. This support helps companies maintain product quality, reduce delivery risks and meet expectations in markets where reliability is critical.
