The mission includes a group of Canadians from across the country working to build and expand markets for Canadian food and agricultural goods in China.

Grain Farmers of Ontario was represented on the mission by Crosby Devitt, vice-president of strategic development.

Several meetings in the cities of Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Beijing are providing the opportunity to build on our strong Canadian reputation, advocate for open trade, and showcase the many reasons why Chinese customers should choose Canadian food and agricultural products.
