Canada’s agriculture financing Crown corp. says $12-billion in exports could be directed away from U.S.

Farm Credit Canada has identified $12-billion in food and beverage exports that could be shifted away from the U.S. market as cross-border trade comes under continued strain. 

The Crown corporation, which provides financing and other services to the agriculture industry, says U.S. tariffs have introduced uncertainty to a relationship that has historically been of benefit to Canada’s agriculture and food sector.
