SASKATOON – How do I market my bung caps in Thailand? Where do I get information on NAFTA and will that agreement affect my bean sales to Mexico? When I send my elk antlers to Korea, are they a food or a drug product and who inspects them? What feed formula can I use to maximize protein use in my cattle herd?
Answers to these and thousands of other questions can now be found quickly using a new on-line information service offered by Industry Canada.
Strategis, available on the internet through a worldwide web site, is the result of a partnership between industry and federal and provincial governments to make trade and business development information available to all who have access to the internet.
