Mandate

The Canada Beef Export Federation identifies and develops key export markets to increase the sale of Canadian beef products with the cooperation of all companies, organizations and institutions that benefit from this success.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) safeguards Canada’s beef supply and the cattle utilized for production of high quality beef for export markets. The role of the CFIA is to enforce food safety standards established by Health Canada and to carry out enforcement and inspection.

These individuals enable the CFIA and the Canadian Beef Industry to meet the demands of domestic and international consumers and markets.
