Response to US Tariffs

On March 4, 2025 the U.S. government implemented a 25% tariff on all Canadian goods and a 10% tariff on Canadian energy. These trade disrupting measures will create harm on both sides of the border if they remain in place.

Alberta Pork along with the Canadian Pork Council and other provincial pork organizations will continue to monitor the situation, provide input to government, and engage with our U.S. counterparts as much as possible to help resolve this issue.

At these early stages it is important for producers and industry partners to reach out to your contacts (partners, customers, suppliers, friends, and family) in the U.S. to make them fully aware of the potential economic and political damage these trade actions will have.
