Canada’s agricultural exporters are under pressure from trade disputes on multiple fronts: tariff disputes with the United States and China and diplomatic friction with India and Saudi Arabia, to name a few.
Canada is one of the world’s leading producers and exporters of agri-food products, and the sector contributed $149.2 billion of the country’s GDP in 2024. Since Canadian agricultural producers and food processors rely extensively on exports, the growth and sustainability of the sector depends heavily on international market access.
