Agri-food

Agri-food has long been one of Canada’s economic strengths. The sector is varied, ranging from fishing, farming and ranching to transportation, processing and retail. It includes many innovative farmers and firms that are primed for growth and can make a meaningful contribution to help close Canada’s trade gap.

In 2022, we established plans to accelerate our support for the sector and facilitated more than $14 billion in business, an 18% increase over 2021.
