Last week I had the privilege of taking part in MP Kody Blois' press conference in West Block to announce the tabling of his Private Members Bill (PMB) Bill C:359: An Act to Amend the Feeds Act, Seeds Act and the Pest Control Products Act. This Bill would see more expedient regulatory approvals for innovative agriculture products such as seed varieties, feed ingredients, and crop protection products that have already received full regulatory approval in at least two trusted jurisdictions. In recent years, Canadian farmers have seen considerable delays in the introduction of agricultural technologies, such as new canola varieties, due to delays in the domestic regulatory system. The lack of a clear commercialization pathway for such technologies can result in companies making investments in countries other than Canada, leaving canola farmers at a competitive disadvantage compared to farmers from other exporting nations. Thanks to Kody for his vision and leadership in tabling this important Bill that will keep Canadian farmers and agriculture competitive Canadian Canola Growers Association was pleased to be joined for the press conference by our industry partners, including: Canadian Cattle Association, Grain Growers of Canada, Canadian Federation of Agriculture and Fruit and Vegetable Growers of Canada - Producteurs de fruits et légumes du Canada.

« Hog farming, like other Chinese sectors from homebuilding to electric vehicles, has in recent years prioritised growth and market share over profits, creating a surplus that has driven pig prices lower and is now crowding out imports. » [...] « But challenges are mounting as China produces record volumes of pork, in part a legacy of past encouragement from Beijing, which fears food price volatility and urged a major expansion of sow herds after an African swine fever outbreak in the late 2010s killed half the country's pigs. » [...] To make matters worse, pork consumption in China has been hit both by slowing economic growth and by diners' changing preferences, as more health-conscious consumers - especially young people and urbanites - switch to poultry and other foods. And the costs of battling disease have risen substantially, with African swine fever now endemic and a constant threat to all farms. » https://lnkd.in/gV3UTVu4

Brazilian beef production expected to grow in 2024, says USDA. Brazil is expected to produce 11.365 million tons of beef (carcass weight equivalent) in 2024, according to information released by the Gain Report bulletin from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). This volume is expected to surpass the 10.95 million tons recorded in 2023. To achieve this volume, the country is projected to slaughter 46.15 million cattle in 2024, up from the 44.41 million animals recorded in 2023. It is forecasted that Brazil will export 2.955 million tons of beef, surpassing the 2.898 million tons shipped last year. Domestic consumption is expected to reach 8.465 million tons this year, ahead of the 8.107 million tons in 2023. source: https://lnkd.in/dA54H3k #beef #meat #beefexport #halal #food #brazilexport

International Trade Director for the Scottish Chambers of Commerce, at the heart of Scotland’s most influential business to business network
The UK’s fruit and flower growers face an “existential threat” from new post-Brexit border checks that could damage business and affect next year’s crops, the country’s biggest farming body has said. The NFU (National Farmers' Union) (NFU) warned that changes to import rules in April, which will impose checks at the border for nearly all young plants coming into the country, could cause long delays and result in plants being damaged or destroyed. UK growers are reliant on the EU for young plants that start life in countries such as the Netherlands before being imported into the UK for planting. Most soft fruit plants, including strawberries and raspberries, are imported as young plants, while significant numbers of tomatoes, fruit trees and nursery plants also start life in European countries equipped with large greenhouses and better conditions. Under current rules, imported plants are held at nurseries and farms in controlled conditions before some are checked by government inspectors, with checks often prioritised based on risk. However, under new rules scheduled to come in on 30 April, the government intends to check 100% of consignments coming through the new border posts. This has led to widespread discontent among growers, who have concerns about the ability of these border posts to handle this volume of imports. They believe delays and conditions at the new posts could lead to crucial plant imports being damaged or destroyed, and threaten crops for the coming year.

In India, there is no difference between Tomato production, Onion production and Broiler production. All are highly un-organised. At least for tomato farmers and onion farmers you can expect support from media and sometimes from the government. Nobody cares about broiler farmers. The leaders and associations will either advise broiler farmers to go for integration or to close their farms. When few companies are very strong and associations are spineless, we cannot expect anything better. We are making a loss @ 1.30 - 1.40 CFCR, I can understand the plight of the Broiler Farmers and Small Integrators.

British Berry Growers chairman Nicholas Marston spoke to BBC Radio 4's Farming Today presenter Charlotte Smith calling for fair returns from supermarkets. "Growers have seen probably 30 per cent inflation in their cost of production over the last three years," he said. "Strawberries, we saw a zero per cent return increase... and it was a similar picture for other berry crops as well." Marston emphasised that growers have been forced to start reducing the number of strawberry plants on their farms—and should this reduction continue, the industry will shrink. The volume of berries required to stock UK supermarket shelves cannot come from imports—fairer returns from retailers are crucial to be able to match consumer demand. #berries #berryindustry #agriculture #farming #retailers #inflation #fairpay #consumers

Why not have a minimum fixed price for fruits and vegetables? 50ps chocolate manufacturers can have a fixed income but not a farmer? Farmers need to have a minimum or base price for all farm produce. Before going for daily or demand-based price fixation, we should start with a base price that covers the cost of production plus 50-70% profit for farmers. This is similar to how IPL players have a base price before bidding. For example, if the cost of producing one kg of tomato is 10 rupees, then the base price with 50% profit for farmers would be 15 rupees. Every bid should start from this price, not from 1 rupee or less. This base price should be reviewed and revised annually by considering the market price of inputs and other factors. By implementing this, prices will be more scientific and agriculture will become a profitable business for everyone. Strong vigilance is required from the government to implement this, but industry initiatives can make this model a reality. Let's support our farmers and ensure a fair price for their hard work. Any inputs or suggestions for this? Disclaimer : All thoughts are personal #minimumpriceforfarmproduce #fairpriceforfarmers #agriculture #farming #industryinitiatives #narendramodi Narendra Modi
