Import the Flavours of Nova Scotia
Canada’s East Coast is known for its pristine food, drinks, and value-added products. Halifax is home to North America's largest deep-water, ice-free port. Its central location allows us to export high-quality products to more than 75 countries.
Nova Scotia products reach global markets efficiently thanks to excellent cold chain logistics. With state-of-the-art fresh and frozen controlled-atmosphere storage, bulk shipping, and convenient international access via air, water, rail, and road, Halifax Stanfield International Airport plays a key role in facilitating these exports.
We offer fresh and frozen products from some of the richest, most fertile soil in Canada. Nova Scotia’s agri-food and beverage sector is famous for its strict food-safety and sustainable standards. Our fresh water, fertile land, and mild climate provide an extended growing season, allowing our crops to flourish. Influenced by the Mi’kmaq, Acadians, African, and European Settlers, our agriculture industry is as diverse as our harvest.
