British Columbia Agrifoods Companies
Backgrounder
August 10, 2016 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the British Columbia Ministry of International Trade
The British Columbia (B.C.) companies exhibiting at the Food Expo are:
- ASTI Holdings (Golden Bonbon)-New Westminster

- Forbidden Fruit Winery-Cawston
- Global Fruit Brokers-Creston
- Nu-Tea Company-Mission

B.C. food products are considered premium goods in Hong Kong due to British Columbia's high food safety and quality standards. Those attending the expo this year will be treated to some of the province's specialty food items – from Italian torrone (nougat) candy to fruit wine, desserts and organic tea.
Support for this business delegation is funded by Growing Forward 2 (GF2), a five-year agreement launched in 2013 that provides a $3-billion, federal-provincial-territorial government investment in innovation, competitiveness and market development.
