The Canadian Food Inspection Authority has granted market access for Egyptian fresh grapes, the Trade and Industry Ministry announced yesterday. Canada will begin importing Egyptian grapes in accordance with the regulations agreed upon with Egypt’s Agriculture Export Council and Agricultural Quarantine Authority. The approval comes after more than a year of negotiations, according to Minister Tarek Kabil. A group of Egyptian grape exporters are still scheduled to visit Canada in February 2018 to promote their products for the upcoming grape season. As we noted previously, Canada’s grape import market is valued at USD 650 mn.
