Canadian beef moving to Japan

Key news for Canada’s beef sector as Japan reopens its doors to Canadian processed beef for the first time in twenty years.  The federal government announced the move, noting this removes the last trade barrier that Japan put in place on Canadian beef after our discovery of BSE in May of 2003. Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) President Nathan Phinney is pleased to see the full restoration of market access to Japan – Canada’s second-largest export market for beef.
