The report explores products (agricultural and non-agricultural) in which India has substantially large export potential to Canada, considering India’s huge production base of the specific commodities and the huge demand for the same in Canada. Although Indian exports to Canada has been increasing year on year, the major share is occupied by USA, Mexico, European Union and China. The reasons for India’s low share in Canada’s imports include high tariffs imposed, high freight and transportation costs and also several SPS and TBT measurers enforced by Canada. The report consider those product categories, especially Indian food and agricultural products, in which India has a competitive production edge over other competitors. Since India is not able to comply with quality standards and norms of Canada, it is not able to export these products in large quantities to Canada.
