AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Tariffs Hit Canadian Mushrooms: The U.S. has imposed countervailing duties on fresh Canadian mushrooms after a Commerce probe, with most growers facing a 2.84% tariff (and two companies hit at 1.62% and 4.97%), while Canada’s industry calls the case “deeply flawed.” Rising Input Costs in Ontario: Farmers in southwestern Ontario are pointing to diesel and nitrogen fertilizer costs as major pressure points heading into peak summer fieldwork. Greenhouse Lighting Push: Greenhouse Canada’s 2026 grower survey says many operators are moving to LED lighting, reporting better yields and quality, even as energy prices and upgrade costs remain a worry. Global Grain Uncertainty: Australia’s wheat planting is being scaled back due to dry conditions and higher fuel and fertilizer costs tied to the Iran war—another reminder that volatility is still driving food supply risk. Policy & Trade Tensions: China’s embassy in Canada criticized a Conservative MP’s Taiwan visit as a “red line,” underscoring how political friction can spill into economic relations.
