Canadian organic producers and processors will benefit from new trade opportunities following the signing of an expanded organic arrangement between the governments of Canada and Switzerland. Effective October 1, 2016, the expanded arrangement will now allow all Canadian organic multi-ingredient processed products to be exported to Switzerland. The arrangement will also recognize Canadian and Swiss organic wine standards as being equivalent.
