Guatemala closed its market to Canadian MEAT products in December 2013 due to new facility verification requirements in CANADA for EXPORT approval. Since 2013, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, with the support of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, has been negotiating the access of Canadian meat products to Guatemala.
As part of this market access, Canadian beef, pork and poultry export products produced on or after April 17, 2023 are now eligible for export to Guatemala.
