This particular European consortium has a number of participants with extensive knowhow and knowledge in food processing and marketing. The Canada - EU Free Trade Agreement ("CETA") with full access to the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) market was key in attracting the Consortium's industries to Canada. CETA allows European companies to apply their technologies, knowhow and knowledge to a much larger market than in their home territory. It also allows them to import their basic knowhow mix (mostly small volumes) and finish their process in Southwestern Ontario, making their well-established developed European product a Canadian product, qualifying for the NAFTA market.
As soon as the marketing and distribution feasibility studies are completed, the Consortium will make a formal press release and reveal their industries names to the public.
