"Nor does it make sense to think of preserving, through artificial, restrictions, local or regional markets exclusively for the farmers in that area. "Canada is one country and, in this fundamentally important sense, one market." In seeking out and capturing export markets, promotion alone is not a complete answer, Mr. Olson said. There is a need for co-ordin- ation and co-operation among the food chain -- from the industries that supply farm in - puts to the companies that ser- vice export consumers. "we must work together to discover how to improve our position (in the export market), Mr. Olson said. "The relationships among the participants in the agricultural system should not be those of adversaries. The relationships should be those of partners who must work together toward com- mon goals. "In the marketing system, which is increasingly special- ized, sophisticated and dynamic, the need for unity of purpose and co-operation is greater than ever before." 4\ He speccfically mentioned the transportation, processing and marketing functions as areas, where improvements would be beneficial in improving Canada's performance in the export market for agricultural products. "The federal Department of Agriculture will give leadership to co-ordinate the market de- velopment of agriculture," he said. "The emphasis of all our existing programs has been oriented to this end. we are taking fresh initiatives to in- tensify our efforts. "we will strive to provide the necessary opportunities for the energy and co-operation of all segments of the industry to achieve the common goal of agricultural expansion and pros- perity," Mr. Olson said.
