The tariffs are here: what does it mean for Canada’s agri-food sector?
With 50% tariffs now a reality, retaliatory tariffs on the way and a breakdown in relations between Canada and the U.S., Canadian agriculture is facing a rapidly shifting trade environment. Farmers, processors and exporters across the sector are contending with rising costs, changing markets and growing uncertainty about what comes next.
As the dispute continues, questions remain about how long it will last, how deep the impacts will run and what it will take for Canada’s agri-food sector to adapt and remain competitive.
CAPI and RealAgriculture hosted an Ag Policy Exchange unpacking what the tariffs mean for Canadian agriculture, and how the sector can navigate this new trade reality.
