Affiliations
The CSA is a member of the American Spice Trade Association (ASTA),
an international trade association similar to the CSA, whose mandate
is more extensive due to its larger international base of members.
ASTA engages in additional activities such as establishing worldwide
standards for cleanliness and analysis, monitoring pesticides, offering
informational publications and providing information on trade statistics
and technical issues. As a member we have access to these services.
The Saskatchewan Herb and Spice Association (SHSA) and the CSA
have reciprocal membership. We have association with the European
Spice Association (ESA) and have formed industry coalitions with
other food organizations, e.g. The Canadian Association of Importers and Exporters (IE Canada) and The Food and Consumer Products of Canada (FCPC). |
