'''Canada-China Agriculture and Food Development Exchange Center''' or CCAgr (Chinese: 加拿大-中国农业与食品发展交流中心) is an organization based out of [[Directory:Hamilton, Ontario|Hamilton]], [[Directory:Ontario|Ontario]]. CCAgr was created in 2008 to help connect Canadian and Chinese agricultural businesses through addressing cultural and language differences and contend with technical skill and regulatory system limitations. The organization is comprised of a Canadian government sponsored management advisory team and Canada–China agri-food experts.

These facts have made the Chinese market place for high quality and added value agricultural products a growing area of interest and an area that many economist have described as a missed boat for developed countries like Canada<ref name="Canada missing the boat in trade with China: report">{{cite web |author=David Mavin |publisher= Financial Post|url=http://www.financialpost.com/related/links/story.html?id=1313292 |title=Canada missing the boat in trade with China |date=2009-02-21|accessdate=2009-03-02}}</ref>.
