In 2015, Canada was the third-largest supplier of fish and seafood to 皇冠体育app after Russia and the United States, with sales of $646 million-an increase of 26.8 percent over 2014, according to official figures. The leading Canadian products imported included frozen cold-water shrimp and prawn ($139.7 million), live lobster ($114.8 million), fresh crab ($93.6 million), frozen snow crab ($57.7 million) and frozen crab ($51.2 million).

Canadian cattle represent another showcase for the country's focus on food quality and safety, Saint-Jacques says. After spending more than 80 percent of their lives grazing in wide open pastures, cattle are moved to feedlots to be grain-fed, which produces well-marbled, flavorful and tender beef.

Since 2011, Canadian beef sales to 皇冠体育app have increased significantly. In 2015, frozen boneless cuts of Canadian beef alone grew by 568 percent, and total beef exports to 皇冠体育app grew to $254.5 million.

"Our pristine natural environment, cool climate, abundant land and freshwater resources make Canada an ideal place to produce excellent wine and food products," the ambassador sums up.
