Agriculture & Agri-Food Processors

The Agricultural and Agri-food industry faces a number of challenges in Canada:

• Changes in technology
• Volatility in commodity prices
• Growing competition from offshore low-cost producers
• Real commodity prices continue to decline, while input prices, in real terms, have remained relatively stable
• Macroeconomic factors such as higher energy prices and exchange rate changes/volatility

Thus, there are external pressures to increase efficiency and decrease costs, but producers have limited ability to either raise output prices or lower input prices.
