Canada Brand

Offered by Government of Canada, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada

National Agriculture & Agri-Food Food & Beverage

Program Overview

Standing out in crowded international food and agriculture markets can be a challenge, especially for Canadian companies competing against well-established global brands. For export-ready businesses looking to build instant credibility abroad, the Canada Brand offers a powerful way to showcase the quality, safety, and reliability that Canada is known for. Led by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, this national initiative helps agriculture, food, and seafood companies present a consistent and trusted image when promoting their products outside Canada.

Through the Canada Brand, eligible businesses gain access to a government-recognized visual identity, including a modern logo, distinctive graphics, and clear taglines that signal Canadian origin at a glance. Participants can also use a comprehensive marketing toolkit designed for international promotion, making it easier to prepare trade show materials, booth displays, and market-facing content. Many companies use the Canada Brand when participating in international trade events and Canada Pavilions, where shared branding helps attract buyers and start conversations faster in competitive environments. Rather than direct cash funding, the program provides non-repayable branding and marketing support that can significantly reduce the cost and effort of entering or expanding into global markets.

Available nationwide and open to export-ready small, medium-sized, and larger businesses in the agri-food sector, the Canada Brand is an ongoing opportunity for companies serious about international growth. Exploring the full program details can help determine how this recognized national brand could strengthen your export strategy.
