Mumbai, 08 Nov (Commoditiescontrol):Greg Cherewyk, the President of Pulse Canada, has provided a crucial update on the current trade situation with India, highlighting the challenges faced by the Canadian pulse industry amidst growing diplomatic tensions.
The longstanding relationship between Canada and India in the pulse sector has recently experienced strain, affecting the potential for a mutually beneficial Early Progress Trade Agreement (EPTA). After years of investment in fostering trade relations, the industry was disheartened by the standstill reached in September negotiations.
Despite the difficulties, Mr. Cherewyk assured that September's lentil shipments to India proceeded without disruption. However, he noted a concerning drop in grower prices influenced by competitive pricing from Australia and the recent diplomatic unrest. This situation has cast a shadow of uncertainty over Canadian growers and the broader agricultural economy.
Under Mr. Cherewyk's leadership, Pulse Canada has responded proactively by sustaining open communication lines with the Canadian government. The organization is advising on strategies to keep the pulse trade outside the scope of any political conflict and is working tirelessly to rectify trade ties with India. Mr. Cherewyk stressed that "diplomatic disputes should be resolved by diplomats and should not hinder the trading capacity of nations."
Reaffirming the industry's commitment to the Indian market, Mr. Cherewyk is steering Pulse Canada's effort to send clear and positive signals to Indian trade partners. The objective is to underscore Canada's unwavering commitment to its partnership and supply reliability. He communicated the industry's readiness to address the trade issues proactively and ensure the longevity of Canada's position as a top pulse supplier.
Mr. Cherewyk has articulated his intention to broaden the market for Canadian lentils, emphasizing the industry's pivot towards expanding into new high-value markets globally. His message has been one of resilience and adaptability, aiming to secure the Canadian pulse industry's future amid global market shifts and current trade challenges.
Pulse Canada, under Mr. Cherewyk's guidance, is determined to continue supporting the stakeholders through this period and to emerge stronger from the present uncertainty. "Together, we will emerge from this period of uncertainty with stronger partnerships and brighter prospects," said Cherewyk, reflecting his commitment to progress and the value placed on the industry's collective effort.
In closing, the President of Pulse Canada expressed gratitude for the industry's dedication and reinforced the promise to update all partners on advancements in trade discussions with India. He values the trust and cooperation of those within the pulse sector and is focused on steering the community through these complex times towards a stable and profitable future.
