Discussion Panel: Canada’s Ag Trade Future

Sponsored by Canadian Canola Growers Association

Claire Citeau, Executive Director, Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance

• Fawn Jackson, Director of Government and International Affairs, Canadian Cattlemen’s Association
• Jennifer Marchand, Government Relations Leader and AVP, Cargill Limited
• Bernie McClean, Chair of Canadian Canola Growers Association, grains and oilseeds farmer from Saskatchewan (Moderator)

Canada’s capacity to produce safe, healthy food far exceeds the needs of our population and much of Canada’s agri-food sector is export- oriented. According to the Economic Strategy Table, in 2017 Canada exported $64.6 billion in agriculture and agri-food products and ranked 5th globally in agri-food exports. Today, over 90 percent of Canada’s farmers are dependent on exports.

Canada’s agriculture sector has grown substantially over the last decade and is well-positioned to grow further with an expanding, diverse global population creating new market opportunities. To capitalize, Canada has set an ambitious target of increasing exports by $20 billion by 2025.

Our industry experts, each representing different sectors and supply chains in agriculture, will dive into the future of trade, exploring the opportunities and challenges facing Canadian exports, including the impacts of the pandemic, and what lies ahead as Canada focuses on growing our agricultural exports.
