AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoTrade: Canada’s largest India trade mission in more than 30 years is underway, with nearly 300 delegates as both countries push to conclude a trade pact by year-end. A deal could open new opportunities for Canadian agri-food exporters, though key market-access issues remain. Harvest: Manitoba farmers face their worst harvest in more than a decade after extreme rainfall, while Saskatchewan’s harvest is 82% complete as producers race against the weather. Wet conditions are also raising concerns about grain quality. Farm Costs: Global fertilizer supply disruptions and rising sulfur prices add pressure to input costs. Ottawa’s new omnibus bill could ease the process for Saskatchewan farmers to access cash advances and get farm inputs approved. Food Processing: B&G Foods has called off its sale of Green Giant Canada to Nortera after the Competition Bureau challenged the deal over concerns about competition, prices and consumer choice.
