Ontario Farm Leaders, including OFA, provided recommendations to the AAFC Minister Blois and OMAFA Minister Jones regarding the governments’ response to US trade action.
Through the letter, Ontario Farm Leaders raised their concerns on the economic impact of tariffs on Ontario’s agri-food sector. The Leaders also provided recommendations on areas where the governments could focus to support the agri-food sector:
- Developing targeted support programs
- Investing in agriculture’s productive capacity
- Supporting buy local campaigns and expanded export markets
- Reviewing and addressing interprovincial trade barriers
- Supporting homegrown solutions
