International Trade

A number of international trade negotiations, including the negotiations at the World Trade Organization (WTO), hold major implications for the Canadian turkey industry and the well-being of Canadian turkey farms.

Turkey Farmers of Canada generally support talks to improve trade and Canadian farm incomes; however, decisions made abroad to guide the global trade of agricultural products may pose a serious threat to the domestic supply management system for Canadian poultry, dairy and eggs.

This is why we're calling on Canada's government to stand up for the maintenance of supply management at the WTO negotiations on agriculture, and within the context of other ongoing international trade negotiations, including the Canada-European Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).
