Canada's Fruit & Veg Tech X-Change (CFVTX) is an outdoor, not-for-profit, horticultural trade show for commercial fruit and veg producers and their families. Encompassing: Row Crop, Orchard, Vineyard, Greenhouse and tobacco sectors.

This progressive sector is showcased under real farm conditions, all in one location on Thursday July 12, Friday July 13, and Saturday July 14 2012, right here in Norfolk County – just 10 mins south of the “HORT HWY#3” - Simcoe, Ontario.

A staggering 242 exhibitors came from across North America to engage in the inaugural Hort showcase. For a first time event, we were extremely pleased with the showmanship and enthusiasm put into product and service displays. 2,200 qualified producer families came through the gates this year, with the intention to do business.

We have assembled a top notch steering committee of 30+ exhibitors and producers. We heard loud and clear that the dates of the X-Change had to fall between planting and harvest for the majority of fruit and veg crops in this province, hence the new dates of: July 12th,13th,14th 2012.

We are located at 1195 Front Road St Williams. Postal code: ON N0E 1P0.

Farmers Want Stable Canola Demand – Domestic Biofuels Market is Key

Trade Wins & the Need for Market Diversification: Lessons from the Canola Tariff Breakthrough After months of uncertainty, we are pleased to report positive developments on the trade front. Prime Minister Carney and Premier Moe’s diplomatic visit to China in January 2026 resulted in a resolution that led to a reduction in China’s canola tariffs—read this news release for greater detail on this file. While this is welcome news, it has also highlighted the risks of relying too heavily on only a couple of export markets. In today’s global trade environment, market diversification is more important than ever. Over the past year, canola—one of our largest export crops—has faced significant market risk. The recent tariff ruling confirms that depending on foreign buyers leaves us vulnerable to unpredictable policy changes. That’s why expanding domestic demand, especially biofuel, is crucial. Unlike exports, local biofuel markets can’t be affected by foreign tariffs. Crush It: Renewable Die
