Many Canadian companies in areas of production and transportation could benefit from the exportation of these bean seeds. Canada is currently seen as a top producer, processor, and exporter of exceptional seed on international markets (Government of Canada, 2016). Seed exports contribute around 5.61 billion dollars of economic gains to the Canadian economy as well as providing more than 57,000 jobs. These exports, as well as their economic value, has only increased in recent years incentivizing further research and development. The diversity of climates and rich sources of quality soil provides Canadian producers the ability to develop and grow a wide range of crops (The Government of Canada, 2016).
The scale of operation for Canadian seed producers varies greatly and while large scale companies are more recognized for their contribution to the industry, there remain many opportunities for small-scale producers as well. For instance, The Incredible Seed Company is a small-scale enterprise that sources its seed from the Maritime region (The Incredible Seed Company, 2016). This region which lacks a lot of the industry opportunities of central Canada or the West Coast reports some of the lowest employment rates nationwide (Statistic Canada, 2016). For example, Nova Scotia has an employment rate of 56.2% a significant difference to the country average at 61.1% (Statistic Canada, 2016). Improved trade offers these companies the opportunity to expand their business as well as benefiting secondary industries through an increased demand for storage facilities and international transport. The headquarters for the shipping company A1 Freight Forwarding are in Toronto, Canada and therefore benefit by connection to the shipment of these seeds (A1 Freight Forwarding, 2016).
