GGC welcomes regulatory reform and supply chain reliability commitments
(Posted on 04/05/26)
Grain Growers of Canada (GGC) has welcomed commitments made in the Spring Economic Update to amend the mandate of the Pesticide Regulatory Directorate (PRD), formerly the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), to account for food security and the cost of food, and to move quickly on building more efficient and reliable supply chains.
As the national voice for Canada’s grain farmers, (GGC) represents over 100,000 producers through 15 national, provincial and regional grower groups.
In a statement, GGC said, “These commitments reflect long-standing priorities for Canada’s grain sector. Food security and affordability must be central considerations in regulatory decision-making, particularly given the role farmers play in producing food and ensuring a stable supply for Canadians and customers around the world.
We also acknowledge the government’s recognition of longstanding supply chain challenges and the need to strengthen trade-enabling infrastructure. However, the sector is beyond signalling and examining options. Concrete, timely implementation is now required to address inefficiencies at key gateways and ensure Canada’s transportation system can reliably move grain to global markets.
As an export-dependent sector, these commitments are essential and come at a critical juncture for Canada’s economy and its ability to compete in global markets. Grain Growers of Canada looks forward to working with the federal government to ensure these commitments are translated into practical, timely actions that support farmers and strengthen the sector’s ability to deliver at home and in global markets.”
GGC members steward 120 million acres of land to grow food for Canadians and for 160 countries around the world, creating $45 billion in export value annually. As the farmer-driven association for the grains sector, GGC champions federal policies that support the competitiveness and profitability of grain growers across Canada.
