CFA Statement on Canada–China Tariff Developments

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) welcomes the increased dialogue and newly announced progress between Canada and China on agricultural trade, marking an important step toward stabilizing and restoring market access for Canadian farmers.

The proposed elimination of tariffs across several key agricultural products, coupled with the significant reduction in tariffs on Canola seed, will provide immediate relief and contribute to restoring competitiveness for producers exporting to one of Canada’s most significant agricultural markets.

“These advancements are promising, demonstrating significant progress. This sets the foundation for continued dialogue to resolve outstanding trade barriers and foster a more predictable trade environment for Canadian farmers,” said Keith Currie, CFA President.

CFA looks forward to ongoing dialogue and further positive developments that support the long-term success and sustainability of Canadian agriculture as a strategic economic sector for Canada.

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
