CCA requests termination of Canada-UK trade deal

The Canadian Cattle Association is calling on the Government of Canada to terminate the Canada–UK Continuity Agreement.

Despite commitments made under the agreement, the UK continues to block Canadian beef exports while its own beef exports to Canada have surged.

CCA says it’s time to “stand up for Canadian beef producers” and pursue truly reciprocal trade.

Quick facts

  • There have been no Canadian beef exports to the United Kingdom in 2024 or to date in 2025.
  • The value of UK beef imports into Canada rose from $16.6 million in 2023 to $42.5 million in 2024, a 156 per cent year-over-year increase. From January to August 2025, imports totalled $32.2 million, up 19 per cent from the same period in 2024.
