$7 Million to Grow Canada’s Agriculture Tech Sector

Smarter production is the goal of the HARVEST agri-tech accelerator that’s investing in cleantech and agricultural companies to help them scale up their businesses and strengthen the country’s economy and supply chains. Nine start-ups from coast to coast will receive an investment of up to $750,000 and critical business mentorship from Ontario Genomics, Genome Alberta and Genome Prairie to bring their products and production methods to industrial commercial scale, as soon as possible.

Its latest Farmers and Food Prices Report indicates the trend has not changed much since the organization began analyzing six products in 2021-22. “Our data continues to show a consistent story,” said president Bill Prybylski. “Food prices are rising, but the farmer’s share is actually shrinking.” The report, which was released in June for 2024-25, actually showed a little bump in the farmer share of two products:retail pork and canola oil. “I was a little surprised that some of the numbers have actually reversed, but when you think about it, I guess it makes sense that canola prices have rebounded a little bit compared to where they were,” Prybylski said. APAS tracks the farmer share of several food products by comparing the retail price with the producer price for the initial commodity. These include a 675-gram load of
