ALBERTA, CANADA (RFD NEWS) — Canada is moving closer to China after signing a new trade agreement that could expand market access for Canadian farmers and exporters, while also raising questions about broader North American trade dynamics.
Shaun Haney, host of RealAg Radio, joined us to break down what the new agreement means for Canada’s agricultural sector and its relationships with key trading partners.
In his interview with RFD NEWS, Haney outlined the main components of the new Canada–China trade deal and how it is expected to open doors for Canadian agricultural exports. He explained how the agreement fits into Canada’s broader trade strategy as the country looks to diversify markets and reduce reliance on a single trading partner.
Haney also discussed what the deal could mean for Canadian farmers and exporters, including potential opportunities for growth and areas of concern. He addressed how closer ties between Canada and China could impact Canada’s relationship with the United States moving forward, particularly as trade discussions continue across North America.
Before wrapping up, Haney shared what listeners can expect on RealAg Radio today as the program continues to follow this developing story and its implications for agriculture.
