French Food in Canada
Most Canadian can appreciate the role of France in food and gastronomy... From Camembert to chocolate here are some numbers that show just how much France is gaining market share on the continent!
Canadian Market
Canada is the 11th-largest importing and exporting country in the world, France being its 8th largest trading partner. Canadian agrifood imports have increased gradually over the past 10 years and after a slight decline and stagnation during the 2009 economy, imports have increased significantly over the past two years.
French exports to Canada have increased by nearly 10% between 2010 and 2011
Beverages are the most-exported French food and beverages products to Canada (400 million euros) followed by cheese and dairy products (40 million euros).
French Products
The forecasts for French products are encouraging! France’s products, expertise and brands are recognized and appreciated by Americans and Canadians alike. Given the recent economic improvements and the sophistication of tastes, consumers are increasingly inclined to spend more for quality food products – corresponding perfectly with the range of gourmet products that France has to offer. The positioning of French products ranges from mid to high, the majority of which is in small qualitative volumes destined for gourmet food stores, fine supermarkets or foodservice. For this special event dedicated to French gastronomy, Ubifrance has selected French food companies, exemplary of French terroir and tradition.

French Wine in Canada
Most Canadian can appreciate the extraordinary diversity of French wine. From Provence rosés to Burgundy reds, the following figures reveal how much France is gaining market share on the continent!
Canadian Market
Growth in Canadian wine consumption is three times faster than the world rate. Between 2007 and 2011, Canadian wine consumption increased by 14.55% and reached 43.21 million 9-liter cases, the equivalent of 518.52 million bottles.
According to the VINEXPO market study, this growth is predicted to continue at the same pace between 2012 and 2016 and is forecast to reach 14.27%. This boost represents an average annual increase of 3%.
Between 2012 and 2016, Canada will be the 5th fastest-growing wine market worldwide, behind China, the US, Russia and Germany. France is the second-largest provider of imported wine into Canada, behind Italy and ahead of Australia.
For this special event celebrating French gastronomy & French wine culture, UBIFRANCE has selected 7 producers from almost every classic French wine region.

Château d’Astros, Provence
Company profile Château d'Astros is a 200-acre Provence vineyard based in Vidauban, in Var (between Nice and Marseille and north of St-Tropez). The estate has been in the Maurel family for the past 8 generations, with wine being produced on the estate since the 17th century. We produce 700 000 bottles, 70% of which are VDP and 80% rosé. Making rosé wine has become an art for us: we made big investments in 2011 to improve our wines (a new refrigeration system which enables us to cool down grapes as well as the must, two inert wine presses to avoid any oxygen contact, air-conditioning of both the bottling line and the storage facilities, and a very gentle sorting table combined to a distalker, especially adapted to rosé wine). We produce our IGP des Maures with the same care as our AOP. Our distribution network is well established in France (Cave Nicolas, Taittinger) and in several other countries (Great Britain, Bulgaria, Germany, Belgium, Canada, Brazil...). As Provence rosé has been booming on the North American market these past few years, we feel it is the right moment to present our Astros rosé wines and especially our Domaine d’Astros line, our main production.

Four generations of wine growers have since followed, each continuing to incarnate the same philosophy: perpetuating the know-how and the love of wine. Today, our family’s wines are the result of Patrick’s passion and of farming methods that respect the soil and nature.
