Canada-Indonesia CEPA to Boost Agricultural Exports
The conclusion of the Canada-Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) marks a significant development for Canadian agri-businesses. Minister Mary Ng's announcement underscores the establishment of bilateral trade agreements that include a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on agricultural market access. This agreement is poised to facilitate the entry of Canadian agricultural products into Indonesia, potentially increasing export opportunities for the sector. The agreement specifically mentions the potential for Canadian beef exports to Indonesia, contingent upon meeting import requirements. This development is aligned with Canada's Indo-Pacific Strategy, aiming to enhance trade relations within the region.
