Thousands of farmers from across Canada took their message to Ottawa April 5 for a rally on Parliament HiII.Among the issues
farmers are concerned with are rock -bottom agricultural prices and U.S. and European subsidies. Huron -Bruce MP Paul Steckle
was on hand to speak with farmers. Earlier in the week, farmers took their tractors and protests to Queen's Park and to the
cities to get their message out to federal and provincial politicians. (photo/Greg McClinchey)

Beef receives
good reviews
CANADA- Canada's beef industry
is working hard to re-establish itself
in the Japanese market and early
response is encouraging. A
Canadian contingent participated in
FOODEX, Japan's largest food and
beverage trade show, which brings
together over 2000 exhibitors from
more than 70 countries. The
Canada Beef Export Federation
(CBEF) and several beef exporters
represented Canadian beef at the
recently concluded show. CBEF pro-
motes Canadian beef in Japan and
other non -U.S. markets. The
Canadian Cattlemen's Association is
a member of CBEF.
Cam Daniels, CBEF vice president,
Export Services, recently attended
FOODEX in Japan. He says, "For the
first time in several years we were
able to display our Canadian beef
proudly, knowing that the market is
now open to Canada. It's a good
feeling to be back in the market. It
was a thrill for me to be in Japan
visiting the retail outlets and to see
Canadian beef products once again
displayed proudly on the Japanese
retail counter."
Canadian marketing efforts
include several tasting and sampling
promotions at Japanese grocery
stores.
