“Italy is a key partner for Canada in the agri-food sector. Beyond our trade ties, our two countries share a strong commitment to food excellence and a deep appreciation for the expertise and craftsmanship of those who produce high-quality food. By featuring Italy as SIAL Canada’s Country of Honour in 2027, SIAL Canada is helping bring businesses from both countries closer together and create new opportunities for growth with Italy and across the broader European market.”

“The Italian agri-food sector is experiencing a very positive growth phase in Canada, and Italy’s designation as “Country of Honor” at SIAL Canada 2027 comes at a particularly favorable time for our businesses. SIAL Canada is the country’s leading trade fair for the agri-food industry and will serve as a vital opportunity to consolidate the Italian presence in the market.”

“The fact that Italy has been named “Country of Honor” at SIAL Canada 2027 is a source of great satisfaction for us; it represents further recognition of the work we have been doing for years to strengthen the presence of Italian agri-food products—”Made in Italy”—in North America. SIAL Canada is a key platform for this market, and we are proud to have supported Italian companies for many years in their growth and development journey within Canada.”
