Buy Canadian
The agriculture and agri-food sector is an economic powerhouse, supplying approximately 2.3 million jobs and contributing $143.8 billion (7.4%) to Canada’s GDP. Its continued competitiveness and sustainability are vital to a prosperous future for generations to come.
The “Buy Canadian” movement is an initiative aimed at encouraging consumers to prioritize purchasing products that are made in Canada, rather than imported goods. This movement promotes supporting local businesses, industries, and the Canadian economy by directing spending toward domestically produced items.
Key goals and principles of the “Buy Canadian” movement include:
- Supporting Canadian Jobs
- Boosting the Economy
- Promoting Sustainability
- Quality & Safety
- Reducing Dependence on Imports
