The Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance (CAFTA) is a coalition of national and regional organizations, associations and companies that have come together in support of a more open and fair international trading environment for agriculture and agri-food.

CAFTA represents the entire value chain; the membership includes producer organizations, processors, marketers and exporters from the major trade dependent sectors in Canada

Together, CAFTA’s members:

• Produce almost 80% of Canada’s agriculture and agri-food exports.
• Conduct about $40 billion in business annually.
• Employ close to 500 thousand Canadians directly in production, processing and marketing.
• Over 90% – nearly 210,000 – of Canada’s farmers are dependent on exports; their viability depends on the sale of products that are either exported or sold domestically at international prices.
