# Canadian beef exports to China may hit $355 million in 2026

> Canadian beef exports to China could approach C$500 million ($355 million) in 2026, officials said, after shipments exceeded C$370 million from March through September. They attributed the rebound to China reopening its market to Canadian beef in March and stronger Chinese demand, making China Canada's second-largest overseas market for the product.
