The Fruit and Vegetable Growers of Canada (FVGC) and the Canadian Produce Marketing Association (CPMA) will hold their fall joint advocacy event, Fall Harvest 2024, November 18-20, on Parliament Hill, in Ottawa.
Fall Harvest is an annual event that provides produce industry members with unique opportunities to meet with Parliamentarians and other key government officials, to discuss critical issues impacting the Canadian fresh fruit and vegetable sector.
The fresh fruit and vegetable industry is a vibrant part of the Canadian economy that works tirelessly to improve the health of Canadians while contributing $15 billion annually to Canada’s GDP, and supporting more than 185,000 jobs in communities across the country. As we look ahead to a potential federal election, now is the time to ensure that the voice of the Canadian produce sector is heard in Ottawa and work with the government to establish practical solutions that will advance the industry’s competitiveness in the global marketplace.
