TFO Canada Multiple Sector Approach to Capitalizing on Canada’s FTAs:
Providing supply opportunities for Canadian importers
In the wake of the uncertainty with the renegotiation and modernization of the multilateral trade agreement NAFTA, it may be worthwhile to focus on the other multilateral and bilateral trade agreements Canada has in force, is negotiating or is exploring. Presently Canada has 10 Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) that are in force, of which TFO Canada work encompasses six of these agreements.
We work with our developing countries clients to maximize the market access clauses in these agreements and these have numerous opportunities in this newsletter for you Canadian Importers.[vc_single_image image=”25286″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”]Working with Trade Support Institutions in their respective countries, export ready suppliers were identified to participate in trade missions, capacity building exercises and business to business meetings with Canadian importers.
