Episode Details

In this episode of BC Food News, Jennifer English discusses a recent update on Canada's grain exports to Mexico. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency started issuing electronic phytosanitary export certificates for grains and grain products bound for Mexico from November 3, 2025. This process, which confirms that the products are free from regulated pests and meet the phytosanitary requirements of the importing country, is expected to lead to a significant improvement in the ease and speed of trade between the two nations. Jennifer also delves into the growing agri-food trade partnership between Canada and Mexico, highlighting trade numbers and the products that lead in exports and imports respectively. The podcast ends with an overview of Canada's efforts in ensuring food safety and access to international markets for its agricultural products.
