Opportunities for Canada
Australia was Canada's sixteenth trading partner in 2019. Additionally, Canada was Australia's fourtheenth largest supplier of agrifood and seafood products in 2019, representing 1.7% market share.
CPTPP entered into force for Canada and Australia on December 30th, 2018. Canada's exports of agrifood and seafood products to Australia were valued at US$291.4 million in 2019, compared to US$142.6 million in 2018, a growth change of 104%.
The CPTPP provides Canada with greater market access to CPTPP countries with the same level of tariffs as major regional competitors like Australia. To obtain more information on key facts and figures regarding Canada-Australian trade opportunities under this agreement see CPTPP partner: Australia.
The CPTPP will establish duty-free access for trade in goods between Canada and Australia, eliminating tariffs of 5% upon entry into force for key Canadian agricultural product exports, including the following commodities:
- Wheat
- Breads, cookies and other baked goods
The CPTPP also represents good opportunities for the Australian demand for premium, quality and innovative products. In addition, Canadian seafood exports have doubled over the past five years. Furthermore, Australia's harvest of wheat has been significantly reduced due to drought which presents a great opportunity for Canadian wheat producers to export their products to Australia.
The CPTPP Agreement, along with the Canada-United States-Mexico agreement (CUSMA) and other free trade agreements with the European Union (CETA), will make Canada the only G7 nation with free trade access to the Americas, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. All Canadian provinces and territories are expected to benefit from the CPTPP.
