Canada’s Value-Added Journey to
Opportunity,
Progress & Prosperity
in Ingredient Manufacturing & Food Processing
Bright Future Ahead
The potential of ingredients, food and bio-based products in Canada rivals the transformative opportunity seen in the EV industry.
Just as EVs signify a sustainable evolution in transportation and an economic boon for Canada, so does ingredient manufacturing and food processing. The growth of Canada’s ingredient manufacturing sector can offer economic prosperity, reduced emissions, a strengthened food supply chain and economic resilience, all in the face of a changing global landscape.
As a country, we must invest in sectors of the future. Ingredient manufacturing and food processing is one of them. By supporting the evolution of the agricultural sector from commodities to ingredients, food and bio-products, we will unlock a $25 billion opportunity for Canada, supported by 17,000 jobs.
An Increasingly
Hungry World
It is an unpleasant truth that we are most likely on the brink of a global food shortage. After decades of surplus, we are ushering in a new era of geopolitical tensions, climate events and a growing global population. Countries around the world are grappling with how to produce more food within the realities of today’s environment.
For Canada, this presents an opportunity. We should be a leader in a shifting global food system. However, decreased productivity, a lagging innovation economy and an increase in global competition has Canada fighting for a seat at the table.
