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.
