Kyle Larkin, Executive Director of GGC, emphasized the severe impact the tariffs will have on Canadian farmers and their relationship with the U.S., which is by far Canada’s largest trading partner for agricultural exports.
“Tariffs of this magnitude will put family-run grain farms at risk by introducing widespread market uncertainty,” Larkin said. “The U.S. is responsible for over $17 billion CAD in Canadian grain and grain product imports each year. These unjustified tariffs threaten that trade relationship—and ultimately, farmers’ livelihoods.”
