Canada Hearts USA Food

And so do their pets...
With a 25.6 percent market share in 2014, and a value of $17.2 billion, Canada remains by far the top destination for U.S. exports of high-value agricultural products.  These consumer-oriented agricultural products are foods typically sold directly in supermarkets or used in restaurants.  These high value exports support tens of thousands of jobs in the United States, and many of the suppliers are small and medium sized businesses.•  Wine and beer:  $644 million
•  Pet food:  $630 million
Check out the whole list in the report.  Pretty interesting.  There is a paragraph that describes beneficial changes due to NAFTA, with which I disagree, but otherwise this supports the trend toward food export.

Canada remains USA's #1 trading partner.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
