Canada aims to deepen trade ties with Bangladesh
Canada has expressed strong interest in deepening commercial ties with Bangladesh and strengthening bilateral relations based on trust, quality and shared prosperity. "We look forward to deepening our commercial ties and building an even stronger bilateral relationship anchored in trust, quality, and shared prosperity," according to a statement issued by the High Commission of Canada to Bangladesh received here today. The statement was made marking the visit of a Canadian delegation comprising officials from Cereals Canada, the Canadian Grain Commission and Alberta Grains in Dhaka from November 23 to 25 for a series of market engagement programmes.
As part of the visit, the delegation conducted the annual New Crop Seminar, led by Cereals Canada, where Bangladeshi millers, bakers and wheat importers received updates on Canada's 2025 wheat crop, including its quality characteristics and grading standards. These technical sessions were aimed at strengthening the long-standing trade relationship between the two countries and at supporting informed purchasing decisions within Bangladesh's rapidly expanding food processing and milling sectors.
"Bangladesh remains one of Canada's most important export destinations for high-quality wheat," the Canadian mission said, adding that Canadian wheat is highly valued by Bangladeshi millers for its consistency, reliability and superior performance. The High Commission noted that the quality of Canadian wheat is supported by world-leading scientific research, transparent regulatory oversight and a rigorous quality assurance system extending from production to shipment. Canada and Bangladesh share a longstanding partnership in the agriculture and food security sectors, which continues to grow through ongoing collaboration in the wheat trade, it added.
As Bangladesh's food industry continues to expand, Canada reaffirmed its commitment to remaining a reliable partner by providing consistent, high- quality wheat and supporting the technical expertise that enhances productivity, strengthens food security and contributes to economic growth.
