Our Mission

Our mission is to improve access to reliable food-market information and encourage greater transparency across Canada's food supply chain.

By bringing together data, industry insights and business information, we aim to support informed decisions, stronger commercial connections and a better understanding of food affordability.

Where available, we use information from Statistics Canada, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the Canadian Grain Commission, international agricultural organizations and other recognized sources.

We distinguish between published statistics, market observations, forecasts and information voluntarily submitted by businesses. We aim to identify reporting periods, units of measurement and data sources clearly.
