The Canadian Soybean Export Association (CSEA) is committed to working with a new council formed out of partnership with Canada's three soybean-growing provinces.

The Canadian Soybean Council (CSC) - a new partnership between grower organizations in Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec - will focus initially on identifying and developing new export markets.  CSEA has been approached by the Council to sit on the export committee to help guide future export activities.

"The CSC will strengthen the Canadian soybean industry and help make soybean exports a vibrant part of Canada's agricultural community," says Troy Snobelen, CSEA Chair.  "This is another positive way that we can promote Canadian food-grade soybeans to international markets."

CSEA will continue to promote Canadian soybeans on the world stage and will address industry issues such as market access, regulatory issues, and the Canadian Identity Preserved Recognition System.

"Making use of CSEA's knowledge and experience will help growers promote Canadian soybeans in the world markets," says John Johnston, Ontario grower representative for the Council.
