Canada invests in Canada pork international
The Government of Canada is investing in marketing Canadian pork in international market with Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture Pierre Lemieux announcing an investment of $550,000 to support the work of Canada Pork International (CPI).
“Our pork producers and processors are known for their safe, high-quality, world-class products, but they need to be able to sell more around the world,” said Lemieux. “This investment will help CPI access more international customers and boost the bottom line for our producers.”
