Story summary

Beijing and Ottawa have extended an agreement from January 2026 that provides Chinese market access for Canadian imports such as canola meal, peas, lobster, and crab until late 2028. In March, following Prime Minister Mark Carney’s visit to Beijing, China dropped tariffs on these products in exchange for Canada allowing certain Chinese steel and aluminum products into the country. This extension is seen as crucial for Canadian exporters, with Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu stating it will support billions in export opportunities and help grow exports to China by 50% by 2030. The deal has already positively impacted lobster exports; they grew by over 56% from March to this year compared to the same period last year.
