Plant exports

The certification process plays an important role in Canada's international trade and helps to protect the excellent international reputation of Canada's exports of food, plants, animals and associated products.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency supports the export of products such as:

• forestry products
• grains and field crops
• horticulture commodities
• potatoes

Some plants and plant products must also meet the requirements of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
