Client: Canada-ASEAN Business Council
Students: Karine Kfoury, Khanh Pham, Mia MacKechnie, Oliver Boucher
Faculty Lead: Kristen Hopewell
Fieldwork Location: Singapore
Year: 2022-23
About the Project: This project assessed the barriers to the two-way agri-food economic relationship between Canada and ASEAN and how Canada can increase its presence in the region to both increase trade revenues for Canadian exporters, while also helping to strengthen food security in the region by leveraging its strengths in agri-food. This includes identifying evidence on possible policy solutions and mechanisms that other countries (i.e. Australia, the US, and the Netherlands) are using to strengthen and promote their relationship with ASEAN and further their agri-food trade presence.
Key Words: Trade, Food Security, Agro-Food
