DHAKA, Nov 30, 2025 (BSS) - Canada has expressed strong interest in deepening 
commercial ties with Bangladesh and strengthening bilateral relations based 
on trust, quality and shared prosperity.
 
"We look forward to deepening our commercial ties and building an even 
stronger bilateral relationship anchored in trust, quality, and shared 
prosperity," according to a statement issued by the High Commission of Canada 
to Bangladesh received here today.

The statement was made marking the visit of a Canadian delegation comprising 
officials from Cereals Canada, the Canadian Grain Commission and Alberta 
Grains in Dhaka from November 23 to 25 for a series of market engagement 
programmes. 

As part of the visit, the delegation conducted the annual New Crop Seminar, 
led by Cereals Canada, where Bangladeshi millers, bakers and wheat importers 
received updates on Canada's 2025 wheat crop, including its quality 
characteristics and grading standards.

These technical sessions were aimed at strengthening the long-standing trade 
relationship between the two countries and at supporting informed purchasing 
decisions within Bangladesh's rapidly expanding food processing and milling 
sectors.

"Bangladesh remains one of Canada's most important export destinations for 
high-quality wheat," the Canadian mission said, adding that Canadian wheat is 
highly valued by Bangladeshi millers for its consistency, reliability and 
superior performance.

The High Commission noted that the quality of Canadian wheat is supported by 
world-leading scientific research, transparent regulatory oversight and a 
rigorous quality assurance system extending from production to shipment.

Canada and Bangladesh share a longstanding partnership in the agriculture and 
food security sectors, which continues to grow through ongoing collaboration 
in the wheat trade, it added.

As Bangladesh's food industry continues to expand, Canada reaffirmed its 
commitment to remaining a reliable partner by providing consistent, high-
quality wheat and supporting the technical expertise that enhances 
productivity, strengthens food security and contributes to economic growth.
