A 16-member industry Board and one non-voting youth member governs the Canadian Beef Check-Off Agency. The Agency also reports to the Farm Products Council of Canada, providing oversight and accountability for how check-off funds are managed.
90% of Canadians agree beef is safe, 86% say it's healthy & 79% say cattle are treated humanely. Plus, 74% see beef as environmentally friendly, up 14 points since 2023.
The import levy applies to imported beef cattle, beef and beef products. Importer-funded dollars support generic programs such as ThinkBeef.ca, promoting beef without using the Canadian Beef Brandmark.
Canadian beef exports reached a record $5.31B in 2025. Canfax estimates exports add $1,421 per head or carcass value to the packer, creating value across the supply chain. @CanadianBeef
