Temporary foreign workers key to mitigating agricultural labour shortages.

Agri-businesses in Canada face persistent labour shortages. In 2022, labour shortages in agriculture amounted to $2.8 billion in lost contracts or sales, thereby limiting sales and production growth. The problem is not going away with estimates from the Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council suggesting there will be 100,000 vacant jobs  in the agriculture sector by 2030.

The agriculture sector is fundamental to the Canadian economy and plays a crucial role in meeting both local and global food demands. In 2023, the sector contributed $40 billion to the GDP, representing 2% of the national total, and employed over 300,000 individuals. Renowned for its diverse, high-quality products, Canada is a leading global exporter with $92.8 billion in agricultural and processed food exports.
