We have been members of the CFEA since 2015, and can wholeheartedly say that all of our export success has started because of our membership, and the events organized by this organization.
Manny Singh
Working with the CFEA has enabled our company to participate in numerous trade missions and trade shows in key global markets. Thanks to the financial and logistical support provided, our company was able to gain access to new markets and to continue liaising with existing clients. Our strategic planning for export will continue looking at the CFEA for opportunities and as a valued partner.
Marco Mazzucco
By offsetting the costs of participating in global trade shows, market development initiatives, and promotional activities, CFEA’s funding programs make it more accessible for exporters—especially small and medium-sized enterprises—to explore new opportunities overseas. This not only strengthens individual businesses but also enhances the global visibility and competitiveness of Canadian food products.
