In this episode of Asia Pacific Conversations, Canadian agriculture entrepreneur and CEO of Saskatchewan-based AGT Foods and Ingredients, Murad Al-Katib, joins Vina Nadjibulla, APF Canada Vice-President Research & Strategy, for a discussion on Canada’s agri-food industry and the challenges and importance of diversifying away from the U.S. into the Indo-Pacific market in the current moment.
A startup in 2001, AGT Foods is now a billion-dollar international enterprise, one of the world’s largest suppliers of pulses, including lentils, peas, beans, and chickpeas, and a global leader in the plant-based protein sector. Murad discusses the importance of Canadian agriculture in global supply chains, why and how he diversified into the Indo-Pacific, and what it takes to maintain efficiency and prosperity in a market constantly challenged by geopolitics and climate change.
