Canola farmers are supported by a network of canola organizations that work together on their behalf. This includes the provincial canola grower organizations, which represent farmers at the regional level; the Canadian Canola Growers Association, which advocates for farmers nationally; and the Canola Council of Canada, which brings the entire canola value chain together. Alongside these canola-focused groups, we also collaborate with a wide range of partners across agriculture to help strengthen opportunities for farmers and support a thriving, sustainable sector. Together, these organizations and partners work to advance and protect the interests of canola farmers across Canada.
