In networking and B2B meetings representatives from Poland were introduced to representatives of Canadian companies invited by ZBH Toronto to have a great opportunity to establish close contacts and draw business plans for Poland. In addition, during a seminar led by specialists in food and trade logistics, Polish companies learned about terms of supply of agri-food products to Canada under the CETA trade agreement.

CETA opens new opportunities for Polish farmers and agri-food industry. With the entry into force of the CETA agreement, Canada eliminates tariffs on 90.9% of agricultural commodities, and by the end of transitional period (7 years) on 91.7%. Currently the majority of food exported from Poland to Canada has a zero customs duty, which for Polish food producers opens up unprecedented export opportunities to the demanding Canadian market.
