Consumer Oriented Inbound to OR & UT

Canada Consumer-Oriented Inbound to Oregon and Utah

Canada is the number one export market for U.S. food and agricultural products, encompassing a diverse range of products such as prepared foods, baked goods, cereals, pasta, processed vegetables, fruits, snack foods, and beverages. This robust trade relationship is characterized by significant purchasing power and evolving consumer preferences that influence North American food trends. Canadian consumers are increasingly focused on healthy eating, seeking products that promote wellness and nutrition.

Would you like to explore selling private label products? In 2022, private label brands accounted for nearly 19% of food retail sales in Canada. This sector remains a growth opportunity for retailers, focusing on providing premium private label choices that combine value and innovation.

Participants in our program will have the exclusive opportunity to connect directly with pre-vetted buyers and importers from Canada. To optimize your experience, please select the session that best fits your schedule and refrain from signing up for multiple sessions, as the same buyers will be present at each.

• Assess how your product fits into the marketplace and evaluate the competitive landscape by engaging with retail and wholesale buyers including those actively sourcing for private label.
• Gather up-to-date market intelligence, consumer preferences, and trend information directly from the source.
