Canadian Delegation to Visit Bangladesh
February 8, 2010 The team comprising members of the Ministry of Agriculture of the government of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Trade & Export Partnership (STEP) is expected to meet with senior government officials and members of the Bangladesh business community, a press release said here today. It will also hold seminars on Canadian agricultural products in Dhaka and Chittagong. Canada is a global leader in the production and export of many agricultural products, including wheat, peas, lentils, chickpeas, mustard seed and canola, and Saskatchewan is the country's largest producer of these products. Saskatchewan, which has 53% of Canada's arable land, produces approximately 60% of Canada's wheat (winter wheat, spring wheat and durum) and 44% of Canada's canola. The objective of the current mission is to develop opportunities in agri-food products, meet local agri commodity companies and promote Canada's pulse producers and processors as reliable sources of quality pulses, the release said. STEP is a non-profit, membership- based organization designed to promote the growth of Saskatchewan's export industry. It assists provincial businesses to realize global marketing opportunities through specially-tailored services and programs.
