In June, the federal agriculture minister Marie-Claude Bibeau announced a $992,131 investment in the Canadian Organic Trade Association for the development of export and domestic market opportunities. According to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, there are about 3,713 certified organic producers in Canada operating on slightly more than two million acres of land.
