The Canadian agricultural sector is an important part of the country's economy, with farm market receipts reaching a record high in recent years and Canada ranking as one of the world's leading exporters of agricultural products. More broadly, the Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector accounts for approximately seven per cent of Canadian GDP and employs more than two-million people.
