The fish and seafood market in Canada is a growing and vital part of the Canadian economy, providing good jobs for the middle class and providing economic opportunities to coastal communities. Exports of Canadian fish and seafood in 2018 increased to nearly $ 7 billion.

Seafood Expo North America, which will be held March 17-19 in Boston, Massachusetts (USA), will be a good opportunity to demonstrate achievements in the Canadian fishing industry.

This exhibition is the largest trade show of its kind in North America. With thousands of seafood buyers and sellers from all over the world, Canada is ready to show the world its high-quality, healthy fish and seafood, as well as a world-class sustainable fisheries management regime. More than 100 Canadian exhibitors and representatives from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, PEI, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia will strive to grow and expand markets.

The Canadian government, together with the provincial leadership, will continue to play a key role in supporting Canadian industry. Parliamentary Secretary of Canada's Minister of Fisheries, Oceans, and Coast Guard Sean Casey will lead the Canadian delegation in Boston. He will meet with Canadian fish and seafood stakeholders, as well as the provincial ministers responsible for fish and seafood, and he will meet with participants from the United States and other countries.
