Farming Forecast Remains Strong
Outlook for Agriculture Sector Released
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 02/19/16 -- Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
Today Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada released the 2016 Canadian Agricultural Outlook. The report provides a forecast of farm income in the agricultural sector for the previous and current calendar years (2015 and 2016), and looks ahead ten years to longer term trends that could impact the agriculture sector. Farm incomes are forecasted to reach record levels for Canadian farmers in 2015, and to remain above average for 2016.
A projected increase in both crop and livestock receipts contributes to these strong income levels for the sector in both 2015 and 2016. An increase in global trade and greater demand for agricultural commodities by developing countries present opportunities to further grow the Canadian agriculture sector.
