Canada seeks deeper trade ties with Bangladesh

"We look forward to deepening our commercial ties and building an even stronger bilateral relationship anchored in trust, quality, and shared prosperity," the High Commission of Canada to Bangladesh said in a statement received today.

The remarks came as a Canadian delegation—comprising officials from Cereals Canada, the Canadian Grain Commission, and Alberta Grains—visited Dhaka from November 23 to 25 for a series of market engagement programmes.

During the visit, the delegation hosted the annual New Crop Seminar, led by Cereals Canada, where Bangladeshi millers, bakers, and wheat importers were briefed on Canada’s 2025 wheat crop, including its quality characteristics and grading standards.

The technical sessions aimed to further strengthen the long-established trade relationship between the two countries and support informed purchasing decisions within Bangladesh’s rapidly growing food processing and milling sectors.

"Bangladesh remains one of Canada's most important export destinations for high-quality wheat," the Canadian mission noted, emphasising that Canadian wheat is highly valued by Bangladeshi millers for its consistency, reliability, and superior performance.

The High Commission highlighted that the premium quality of Canadian wheat is ensured through world-leading scientific research, transparent regulatory oversight, and a rigorous quality assurance system that spans from production to shipment.

Canada and Bangladesh share a longstanding partnership in agriculture and food security, reinforced by ongoing collaboration in the wheat trade.

As Bangladesh’s food industry continues to expand, Canada reaffirmed its commitment to being a dependable partner by supplying consistent, high-quality wheat and supporting technical expertise that boosts productivity, strengthens food security, and contributes to economic growth.
