Canada Secures Extended Trade Relief From China on Certain Agrifood Goods
By Paul Vieira
OTTAWA--Canada said Wednesday it secured from China a two-year extension on favorable trade treatment of some Canadian agricultural and food products.
Earlier this year, China agreed to drop tariffs on Canadian products such as canola meal, peas and lobster, and in exchange Canada committed to allow the import of up to 49,000 Chinese electric-vehicles. The tariff relief from China was set to expire late this year.
China agreed to extend the tariff relief until the end of 2028, Canada's International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu said in a statement. Sidhu is in Beijing for meetings with Chinese officials.
"This extension will give Canadian farmers, seafood harvesters and exporters greater certainty and predictability, while supporting increased Canadian exports to China," Sidhu said.
A representative for China's embassy in Ottawa didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has set a goal to double exports to non-U.S. markets by the mid-2030s, and that required him to re-establish and reset ties with China--following years of turbulence under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over Canada's role last decade in the U.S. detention of a senior Huawei Technologies executive.
