Securing Canada's  
Grain Supply Chain is
Essential.

For more than 50 years, free and fair trade has kept the production of the crops that end up on Canadian tables affordable. But recently, global uncertainty is resulting in skyrocketing costs for grain farmers.

When grain farmers grow, Canada grows and the math is simple: when a farmer can secure the supplies  that they need to grow their crops affordably, they can remain competitive and grow food for Canadians. But when our trade relationships are uncertain, farmer’s supply chains are at risk.

Food starts at the farm and national sovereignty and security relies on secure food production. It’s about more than just ensuring there is enough food on our plates — it’s about protecting Canada’s food producers from escalating costs and ensuring farmers can produce crops affordably. Producing high-quality food affordably needs to be a priority for the government.

It's not sustainable and it's not good for Canadians.

What Needs to Be Done?

To keep grain farmers growing the high-quality crops used in food that ends up on Canadian's kitchen tables, we need support from government; they need to ensure Canadian farmers have what they need to grow their crops cost-efficiently right here at home.
