Sunora Foods Inc. announced the signing of an agreement to supply a major Asian trading partner with its portfolio of Canadian manufactured food oils. This agreement will result in increased shipments of primarily canola oil, a product that is in high demand throughout Asia. This agreement further complements existing arrangements to supply food oils to Asia as previously announced in 2014 by the corporation.

The company continues to penetrate the Asia market for food oils, with specific focus to China and other important countries in Asia. Asian countries demand for high quality Canadian food oils, including canola oil, is a primary driver for the increasing international shipments from Sunora. With a population of 1.35 billion people, it is expected that Chinese imports will continue to rise in 2015 and beyond.
