State of Trade: A New Era of International Trade

At the CPMA Annual Convention Ron Lemaire, CPMA and John Stackhouse from RBC held a fireside chat to explore the current state of the North American agri-food and produce market. They delve into key issues such as macroeconomic trends affecting supply chains, ongoing trade and market access challenges for agri-food, and the ripple effects of volatile stock markets on industry investment. They also examine the shifting retail and consumer behaviours in a potentially high-inflation environment, along with sustainability pressures, labour shortages, and logistics constraints that continue to shape the industry's growth trajectory.
