Tariffs Shake Canadian Produce Supply Chain

Tariffs Shake Canadian Produce Supply Chain

The Canadian Produce Marketing Association (CPMA) held its board of directors' semi-annual meeting in Austin, TX, from September 17-20, to facilitate collaboration between members and US produce sector players.

According to Ron Lemaire, CPMA president, the recent tariff turmoil has caused a significant disruption to the North American supply chain, affecting the trading position of Canada, the US, and Mexico as a bloc.

While other issues, such as fuel, labor, and the upcoming review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) in 2026, impact the Canadian supply chain, the tariff situation takes precedence.

The tariff turmoil has caused a rift across the North American supply chain, threatening the position of the three countries as a trading bloc.
