NEW REPORT! Canada remains seventh among G20 countries in agri-food competitiveness. We have the resources, research, and expertise to lead. The challenge is turning those strengths into stronger business growth. Pleased to share the newly released third edition of the MNP Food and Beverage Business Outlook, published by MNP based on research commissioned from Dalhousie University’s Agri‑Food Analytics Lab. Some highlights: → Innovation needs a clearer path to market. Nearly $515 million was invested in Canadian agri-food technology startups in 2025, but scaling and commercialization remain challenges. → Productivity is an opportunity. Wider adoption of digital tools and AI could help businesses improve forecasting, manage inventory, and protect margins. → Affordability is reshaping demand. Consumers are becoming more selective, putting pressure on businesses to deliver value while maintaining quality and profitability. → Canada can capture more value at home. Expanding domestic processing and manufacturing would strengthen our export offering, create jobs, and support food security. → Diversification matters. Reducing dependence on a single market, customer, or supplier can help businesses withstand trade uncertainty. Canada’s potential is substantial. Realizing it will require investment, stronger partnerships, and a sharper focus on execution.
