__________________________________________________________________________________
The Provincial Food Processing Associations of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia are working
together on an Export Enhancement and Investment Attraction Project. This is a multiyear program which will continue
to expand export trade to Asia and attract investment to western Canada. The Project is offering a series of Outgoing
Trade Missions to Asia.
Previous Trade Missions under this program have already resulted in increased exports from Canada to Asia and also
attracted investment capital and industry to Western Canada. This Mission will build on existing business relationships
and seek out new customers in South East Asia. If you work in the food processing sector and wish to expand your export
markets, or follow up with your existing customers in Asia or meet with new buyers or investors from Asia you should join
this Mission.
The Trade Mission will be tailored to your specific needs as much as possible to include:
 Mission Briefings and Support Information
 Briefing by Canadian Embassy / Consulate
officials in the Philippines and Thailand
 Briefing/meeting with Philippine Government
officials and Thailand Government officials
 One on One meetings with buyers, industry
representatives and agents/distributors
 Networking opportunities including Chamber of
Commerce Meetings
 Local Transportation and Logistics and Lodging
reservation Assistance

The Trade Mission will be in Davao, Philippines from November 20 to November 22, Manila, Philippines from November
23 to November 26, and the final destination in Bangkok, Thailand from November 28 to December 1st, 2011. Optional
tours* will be available in Thailand at the conclusion of the Trade Mission.
