The 2025 Product Advisory from Keep it Clean is now available to inform growers and crop advisors about potential market risks tied to certain crop protection products when used on some crops. Click HERE.
Keep it Clean is a joint initiative of the Canola Council of Canada, Cereals Canada, Pulse Canada, and the Prairie Oat Growers Association. It has created the advisory to provide growers and crop advisors with resources that help them grow market-ready crops.
Canada’s agricultural exports are significant, with 90 percent of canola, 80 percent of wheat, barley, and oats, and 85 percent of pulses heading to international markets. The annual Product Advisory equips growers with essential product and crop combination insights to help ensure compliance and safeguard market access.
“As global export standards continue to evolve, staying ahead of potential market risks is now more important than ever,” said Krista Zuzak, Director of Crop Protection and Production at Cereals Canada. “The 2025 Product Advisory gives growers the latest insights to ensure their crops remain acceptable to both domestic and export customers.”
Keep it Clean will also be hosting a Product Advisory webinar on April 24 at 11:00 AM, CDT, covering key points such as Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) policies in export markets and how the Canadian grain industry is working together to mitigate market risks. The webinar welcomes growers, crop advisers, and other value chain stakeholders looking to better understand potential market risks before making application decisions this season. Register for the webinar HERE.
While preparing for the upcoming growing season, Keep it Clean encourages growers to review the 2025 Product Advisory and discuss any crop protection products that are flagged with an advisory with their grain buyers.
Keep it Clean resources include updates on potential market risks and resources for on-farm practices that ensure crops meet the standards of domestic and export customers. Keep it Clean is funded in part through the AgriMarketing Program under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership.
