Why it matters
The strategy aims to strengthen the agricultural sector, which recorded $165.1 million in farm cash receipts in 2025, primarily from dairy and poultry operations. The consultations are gathering input on long-term issues, including Crown land access and food processing capacity, as well as immediate concerns like fuel costs.
