With U.S. tariffs in effect and trade tensions simmering, a lot of Canadian food businesses are reassessing where and how they grow. What used to be the most reliable path to scaling internationally now comes with more risk and uncertainty than ever before. Trade relations with the U.S. have changed dramatically in 2025—so it makes sense that your growth strategy might, too. 

That’s why we’ve created Going Global: A Market Guide for Canadian Food Innovators. This practical resource was built to serve CFIN members looking to explore new export opportunities beyond the U.S. 

Inside the guide, you’ll find: 

  • Six market profiles that explain how Canadian food and foodtech companies can enter and succeed in each market 

  • Clear info on trade access, regulatory hurdles, and market conditions 

  • Specific examples of where Canadian solutions—like traceability tech, next gen ingredients, or sustainable packaging—are in demand 

  • On-the-ground contacts, programs, and accelerators that can help you test, partner, and get to market faster 

We’ll spotlight one market each week on YODL, starting with Australia. But if you want the full picture now, the complete guide is available in English and French.

If you’re ready to rethink where and how you go global, this is the best place to start.
