2024 Canada Consumer Oriented Inbound Mission
Anchorage, Alaska and Seattle, Washington
December 9-13, 2024
Canada is the leading international market for U.S. consumer-oriented products, which reached $20 billion in 2023. More than 55% of all consumer-oriented food imports to Canada originate from the United States. Canada is one of the first export markets for Western U.S. companies that are new-to-market and new-to-export, due to their stable financial markets and sophisticated logistics network. Additionally, Canadian consumers have high disposable incomes and are well positioned to purchase high quality products. U.S. food products align closely with Canadian consumer tastes and preferences.
For this activity, buyers from Canada will spend two full days in each state: Alaska and Washington. WUSATA participants will have one-on-one business meetings with visiting buyers to showcase and sample their products. Additional opportunities will be available for participants to host tours at their farms or processing facilities. This is a great opportunity to build connections in Canada!
This inbound event is being held in conjunction with a Southeast Asia Consumer Oriented Inbound Mission. WUSATA participants must register for each event separately. Register for the Southeast Asia inbound mission here: https://www.wusata.org/e/J1LCQLI
Experienced exporters and new-to-market companies do not miss this chance to meet with not just one, but two international trade delegations!
