Canada remains the top U.S. agricultural export destination for consumer-oriented products with plenty of opportunities for companies interested in exporting. As a well established market, in Fiscal Year 2013 (October 2012 to September 2013), U.S. agricultural exports to Canada grew by US $1.4 billion dollars, or 7 percent over FY2012. Companies in the United States enjoy advantages made possible by an established shipping corridor, similar consumer preferences and expectations as well as favorable duty rates under NAFTA.
