According to the Canadian cattle industry, this access will be worth $4.5 million per year to the North American country. The Turkish market will be open immediately and industry figures predict that it could become a top export market for Canadian breeding cattle.
"Turkey represents an important market for Canadian exporters, and I am very pleased that our government has successfully secured market access to Canadian cattle in Turkey,” said Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s minister of international trade.
“We are pleased to supply world-class cattle to Turkey, maximizing export returns for the benefit of Canadian cattle producers," added Canadian minister of agriculture and agri-food, Lawrence MacAulay.
