February 13, 2022 - Ottawa, Ontario - Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
After coming off of a record year, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is expecting farm incomes to remain high for Canadian farmers in 2015. The 2015 Canadian Agricultural Outlook was released today, pointing to a strong future for the agricultural sector. The report provides an overview of the current situation in Canadian agriculture and some of the key longer term drivers that will influence the growth of the sector.
Growing strength in the cattle and hog industry, strong crop sales resulting from high carry-in grain and oilseed stocks despite softening grain prices, and relatively stable input costs produced a record farm income in 2014 and will continue to sustain the agricultural economy in 2015.
Canadian Agricultural Outlook Highlights:
"The future for Canadian agriculture remains positive. Our Government will continue to work with industry to strengthen agricultural research and innovation, break down trade barriers, open new markets and enable producers to improve their incomes, support their families, and grow the Canadian economy."
