Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is providing additional support to Canadian canola producers and agribusinesses affected by ongoing global trade disruptions, including new tariffs on Canadian canola seed.
Through its Trade Disruption Customer Support program, FCC says they’re helping farm operations, food processors, and other industry participants maintain stability and competitiveness.
Their program offers flexible financing to both existing customers and new clients who meet lending criteria. Options include access to credit lines of up to $500,000, new term loans, and the ability for existing clients to defer principal payments for up to 12 months. FCC emphasizes that lending due diligence will be carried out on all applications.
FCC President and CEO Justine Hendricks says the program is designed to help producers adapt to market uncertainty, safeguard operations, and continue delivering high-quality products to domestic and international markets. Customers and prospective clients are encouraged to contact their local FCC office or call 1-800-387-3232 to discuss individual needs.
As a commercial Crown corporation, FCC is fully invested in Canadian agriculture and food, providing both financial and non-financial services to meet the complex and evolving needs of the sector. Its employees work to create value through expertise, data, and relationships while reinvesting profits back into communities and the industry. For more information, visit fcc.ca.
