Canadian Farming Forecast Suggests Continued Positive Economic Outlook
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 02/17/17 -- Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
Today, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada released the 2017 Canadian Agricultural Outlook. The report provides a forecast of farm income in the agricultural sector for the previous and current calendar years (2016 and 2017), and looks ahead to longer term trends that could impact the agriculture sector.
In 2016 and 2017, Net Cash Income is forecast to see slight declines, but will remain above the 2011-2015 average. The primary driver of declining income is weakness in North American livestock markets as cattle and calf prices descend from record high levels observed in 2015. Crop receipts are expected to increase in both 2016 and 2017 due to strong marketings, or volumes marketed, of canola in 2016, and an overall increase in grain marketings in 2017 as the large crop harvested last fall works its way through the grain marketing system.
Most indicators suggest a continuing positive economic situation for the sector. A growing world population, increasing disposable incomes in developing nations and increasing trade in farm products present opportunities to further grow the Canadian agriculture sector.
Quote
