Ongoing tensions between Canada and India remain a concern

Trade irritants are always a key concern for the agriculture sector 

The ongoing tensions between India and Canada remain a concern especially for provinces like Saskatchewan that export a large volume of pulses into India. 

AGT Foods is one of the largest suppliers of value-added pulses, staple foods and food ingredients in the world.

Murad Al Katib, President and CEO of AGT Foods says they are closely monitoring the situation.

"I have an optimism that the channels will remain open. You know, in the interim, we are seeing bidders at the farm gate that are pulling back of course. Again it's a volatile situation, we're all watching very carefully. You can't be in a position where you have vessels enroute and the market is to be closed off. "

Understanding the Blackleg & Verticillium Connection Webinar

Video: Understanding the Blackleg & Verticillium Connection Webinar

This webinar will explore the emerging connection between blackleg and verticillium stripe in canola, two diseases increasingly shaping yield risk across the Prairies. Presented by Ian Epp of Sask Oilseeds, the session will unpack current research and field observations that highlight how blackleg infection may influence the development and severity of verticillium stripe later in the season.

You will gain insight into disease biology, environmental drivers, and the role of variety selection, rotation, and management decisions in reducing overall disease pressure. The webinar will also connect the dots between early-season disease management and long-term risk, helping growers and agronomists better anticipate challenges and adapt strategies for more resilient canola production.
