"Canada is a major world exporter of beef. When we talk about Canadian beef, we talk about safety, quality and sustainability,” he said.

Last year, Canada exported over US$2 billion in beef. Asia has become one of its priority markets, with Viet Nam ranked as a market with high potential, he said.

Attending the event, Heinz Reimer, Vice Chairman of Canada Beef, which is responsible for domestic and international beef and veal market development, said that Canadian exporters are penetrating the Vietnamese market in recent years.

Vietnamese imports of Canadian beef last year reached about 320 tonnes, much higher than the estimated 20 tonnes of two or three years ago.
