Outlook on Canadian Agriculture

Len Penner, President of Cargill Limited, shares his views on Canadian agriculture and what the industry needs to do to remain successful.

Key Points

  • Increased global food consumption, driven by a growing population with growing wealth, is making agriculture an exciting industry to be in.
  • Canadian agriculture is dependent on the rest of the world’s demand for its products. Delivering safe, high-quality products is a key to its continued success.
  • Record commodity prices also create significant volatility – small changes in supply and demand factors can cause major swings in commodity prices.
  • The future success of Canadian agriculture will depend on the industry’s ability to adapt to change.
