it's expected to expan " r` mother $150 billion
over the next half dec, . hile our Canadian;
exportvalues have t wing, we are still
only .a. small fraction uu dale world's total - we
need to respond to market :demands . and grow
faster to keep and. improve our "market share,"
Ralph Goodale, Agriculture and Agri -Food
Minister said. , •
"We also need to increase our focus on value-
added exports, building a more jobs' and skills
intensive dimension on top of. our'histor..ic
.strength in raw commodities," Goodale added.
"It is quite fitting for CAMC to, be founded
early . in 1997 -- Canada's Year of Asia Pacific.
The Asia-Pacific region. and Latin America are
the -two fastest growing economic zones on the
face .of the .earth, and their consumers and. pro-
cessing sectors are. showing increased :effective..
demand for more and more of the top quality
commodities and value-added products which
Canadians can so .ably supply. '
"CAMC will help the government to`be confi-

possible, to maximize Canadian sales opportuni-

ties. CAMC will also help the Canadian private
sector towarda more market responsive, outward •
looking, and competitive mindset, :with more .suc-
cessful international operators," Goodale. said.
• Canada's own domestic, agr-food marketplace
is valued at over $70 billion 'annually. In addition
to seeking export excellence, the CAMC will also
have a domestic' marketing focus, encouraging
Canadians themselves . to do more business with .
Canadians right here at home and foster higher-
valued levels of. international investment in the'
expansion .of Canada's agriculture and food sec-
tor,
Including representatives.. from a wide range of
backgrounds with invalitable,experience and
expertise, the CAMC will be co-chaired. by Ted
