Why Canada's Agriculture Ties with Mexico Matter to Calgarians

Heads up, Calgary! From October 14 to 17, 2025, our Federal Agriculture Minister, Heath MacDonald, is on a mission to Mexico. This trip is all about strengthening the Canada-Mexico agricultural relationship and boosting commercial ties. What does this mean for Calgarians? Well, agriculture is a backbone of our local economy. Better ties could lead to enhanced trade, benefiting local farmers and businesses. Mexico is a key trading partner, and this visit aims to potentially open new markets for Alberta’s agricultural products. With Calgary being a hub for agricultural tech and innovation, these strengthened relations could bring more growth opportunities here. Agriculture accounts for a significant portion of our local GDP, and any boost in trade directly impacts everyday life and the local economy. This comes to us from the Government of Canada.
