Madame, Monsieur,
Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada en collaboration avec le Conseil de Commerce Canado-Arabe vous invite à participer à un séminaire d’information d’une demi journée sur le marché des produits halal à Montréal, mercredi le 3 octobre 2007.
En 2003, on comptait approximativement 1,4 millions de musulmans dans le monde. La croissance de la population musulmane est supérieure à l’offre de produits alimentaires disponibles dans les marchés du Moyen Orient et du Sud Est Asiatique. Le commerce des produits alimentaires halal est estimé à environ 150 milliards de dollars US par année.
Le progrès technologique, le développement des équipements et des infrastructures permet aux entreprises agroalimentaires canadiennes d’être compétitifs et d’être mieux positionnées pour répondre aux besoins croissants de la communauté musulmane en produits halal à travers le monde.
Le séminaire a pour objectif de donner un meilleur aperçu du marché des produits halal, des opportunités d’affaires pour nos entreprises agroalimentaires ainsi que de faire partager les expériences fructueuses vécues par nos entreprises.
Nous espérons vous compter parmi nous à cette activité d’une demi journée.
Nous vous remercions de bien vouloir compléter le formulaire d’inscription avec votre paiement de 40$ et de le faire parvenir au Conseil de Commerce Canado-Arabe par fax : 416- 362-7633 ou par courriel : info@canada-arabbusiness.org

Mr. Andreas Weichert, Minister-Counsellor and Senior Trade Commissioner,
Canadian Embassy, Riyadh
The Canada Arab Business Council (CABC), in cooperation with Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, is pleased to invite you to a discussion and briefing on the market and opportunities for Canadian firms in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The KSA is the largest economy in the Middle East, comprising 25 percent of the Arab world's GDP, and it is the world's leading oil exporter, possessing one-fourth of the world's proven oil reserves with an income of $17 billion per month. Saudi Arabian economic development is focused on developing the Kingdom's infrastructure, human resources, and private-sector, and the leadership is actively promoting the privatization of the industrial and agricultural sectors. Recently, the Saudi government has undertaken a major effort to support economic diversification and increase the development of non-oil sectors by encouraging private sector participation. This is creating significant opportunities for Canadian exporting firms in both goods and services. The discussion with Mr. Andreas Weichert will focus on business opportunities in Saudi Arabia and how business is conducted in this largest economy in the Middle East.
There is no charge for this event but to learn how KSA spends $17 billion per month
