Canadian pork producers join national farm group

The voice of a national pork organization is joining forces with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA).

Representing more than 7,000 farms across nine provinces, the Canadian Pork Council plays a vital role in Canada’s agriculture sector and supports over 100,000 jobs and exporting 70 per cent of its production to markets around the world, with more than $5 billion in global exports annually.

CFA President Keith Currie welcomed the Canadian Pork Council as a member.

“As Canada’s largest general farm organization, CFA brings farm leaders from across the provinces, territories, and a diverse mix of commodity groups to drive Canadian agriculture forward by fostering and strong and united voice,” Currie said. “With CPC at the table, our unified national voice grows even stronger particularly when engaging with the federal government on complex issues like sustainability, labour, animal health & emergency preparedness, trade, and competitiveness. It’s critical that our industry work together to advance common solutions and this announcement takes us one step further.”
