3. CC -地方政府合作伙伴数据库(City-City, County-County): 包括市-市, 县-县 政府部门之间合作。比方中国-加拿大两个城市都有相同特色产业, 如花卉产业, 有机食品产业 , 农业观光产业等; 中加两县均具有很强生态农业建设, 两县均具有很强养殖业, 大豆或小麦生产等.

The explosive growth of China agriculture and urbanization of the Chinese economy has created opportunities in Canada in the field of agriculture and food development. China not only offers a huge potential market for Canadian agri-foods, but also creates opportunities in the areas of Canada-China agriculture education, research, development and production and agricultural-related life science events. "Going global" is no longer just an option for most organizations, but a necessity. Both public and private sectors may find it is very useful to link into Chinese networks of customers, partners, and potential investors. Cultural, language and regulatory system differences have been major limitations in this exchange and cooperation.

The Canada–China Agriculture and Food Development Exchange Centre (CCAgr) was founded upon these principles. Youming Zhao, a professional

agrologist in Canada, the founder of Canada–China Agriculture and Food Development Exchange Center, has built wide a contact base in the Canadian and Chinese agricultural and agri-food industries through more than twenty years work in both countries. The CCAgr has the support of many Canadian and Chinese agricultural professionals, university professors, senior government officers and entrepreneurs. The CCAgr utilizes the culture, language and technical skills, in combination with Canadian industry knowledge of Canadian professionals to bridge this gap.

Our Vision :

To be a leading organization in promoting Canada-China agriculture, agri-food industry cooperation.

To be the largest platform in Canadian Chinese communities for promoting our local agri-foods, farming and agricultural tourism.

Our Commitment:

We aim to be a key, long-term partner for our customers and we want our services to add significant value for their business.

Our Mission:

To dedicate to Canadian agriculture, the Canadian regulatory system and the opportunities Canada has in the booming Chinese marketplace. To actively promote Canadian and Chinese cooperation and exchange in agriculture, agri-food and life sciences through a wide range of services for our members and the public. We believe the best way to achieve the goal is to build strong partnerships. We currently are creating and updating three CCAgr-partner databases.

1. AA database- The Academic to Academic database, which includes universities, colleges, science and technology institutes, research parks, discovery districts, innovation and technology commercial centres, as well as professionals with academic backgrounds.

2. BB database: The Business to Business database, which includes producers, growers, farmers, manufacturers, exporters and investors, as well as professionals with expertise in these sectors.

3. CC database: The city to city, country to country database. Both partners enjoy similarities, such as both having a large life sciences cluster or both having a strong flower industry or livestock sector. This database also includes professionals with agriculture and agri-food management and technical expertise in their regions.

The time is ripe for an agricultural-based cooperation and exchange between Canada and China, as China's economy is expanding and Canada is looking for new markets.
