OTTAWA<\/strong> \u2013 Fruit and Vegetable Growers of Canada (FVGC) is welcoming the Canadian Food Inspection Agency\u2019s (CFIA) announcement that Canada and Mexico have reached an agreement that will allow shipments of Canadian potatoes for consumption or processing to Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n

The announcement marks an important step forward for Canada\u2019s potato sector and reflects the value of sustained collaboration between government and industry to improve market access for Canadian-grown products.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a positive development for Canada\u2019s potato sector and a welcome step forward for growers,\u201d said Bill Zylmans, Chair of FVGC\u2019s Canadian Potato Council. \u201cCFIA and industry have put significant time and effort into building the relationship and supporting the work needed to make this happen. We are pleased to see that effort lead to a result.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The new agreement is encouraging news for growers and a sign of progress in strengthening trade opportunities for Canadian potatoes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is good news, and it shows what can be achieved when industry and government work together over time,\u201d said Krista Shaw of the PEI Potato Board, a member of FVGC\u2019s Canadian Potato Council.<\/span><\/p>\n

FVGC will continue working with its members and government partners to support expanded market opportunities for Canada\u2019s fruit and vegetable sector.<\/span>
