Canada to further ties in agriculture sector

Canada is keen to cash in on the opening-up measures in China's agriculture sector and plans to increase exports to the country, a top Canadian official said on Friday.

Speaking at the China International Import Expo in Shanghai, Lawrence MacAulay, Canada's minister for agriculture and agri-food, said he sees great potential for high-quality agricultural products from his country in China.

The minister's comments came after companies from the two countries signed 14 business agreements in agriculture and healthcare at the Canada pavilion on Friday.
