AgriRisk Initiatives Program Now Accepting Applications

The federal government has announced that the AgriRisk Initiatives Program will begin to accept new applications as of August 30, 2019.

 

“Canada's agricultural industry is vital to our economy yet our producers face challenges beyond our control," said Marie Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. "That is why I am pleased to be offering a program that can help producers develop new risk management tools that will help them meet these challenges.”

 

The program, which was renewed under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, supports the development of new risk management tools for the agriculture sector. It will prioritize proposals involving new financial tools allowing agricultural producers to manage a defined business risk. In addition, for minor and emerging agricultural sectors, support will be available for the development of risk assessments and educational tools to help producers manage risk.
