The following is excerpted from a 27 August 2012 news release by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
Canadian producers will immediately benefit from the newly secured market access for live cattle to Ukraine, today announced Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and International Trade Minister Ed Fast. The access for Canadian purebred live cattle for genetics and breeding purposes is estimated to be worth close to $12 million over the next three years.
"This is good news for our hard working livestock producers who can now sell their world-class cattle to the promising Ukraine market," said Minister Ritz. "Our Government will continue to create new sales opportunities for Canadian producers around the world, contributing to long-term prosperity, job creation and economic growth."
