Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy

February 2, 2024

In the fall of 2022, the Canadian government introduced Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy, led by Global Affairs Canada. This strategy aims to strengthen ties between Canada and the 40 nations of the Indo-Pacific region. It includes five strategic objectives, notably increasing trade, investment, and enhancing the resilience of supply chains.

This initiative offers significant business opportunities for export-oriented agri-food companies. The Indo-Pacific region, which includes countries such as Australia, India, China, and Japan, represents 65% of the world’s population and is expected to generate more than 50% of global GDP by 2040. Canada, with its 25,000 kilometers of coastline on the Pacific Ocean and its reputation for quality in agri-food production, is ideally positioned to meet the growing food needs of this region.

Global Affairs Canada aims to diversify exported products and boost economic exchanges with the region. Martin Lavoie, CEO of Group Export, wrote an article on the promising opportunities in this vast territory in “L’actualité ALIMENTAIRE” (in French only).
