IFPA Reacts to New U.S. Tariffs on Canadian Imports

August 24, 2026

The International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA) issued the following statement following the implementation of new U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports:

 “The implementation of new tariffs on Canadian goods adds to the uncertainty facing the agriculture industry operating across the highly integrated North American market. Last year, Canada accounted for 48 percent of U.S. fresh produce exports, over $3.5 billion in produce sales. In total, the United States and Canada share nearly $6.5 billion in annual fresh produce trade. Canada is also a major supplier of cut florals and floral inputs, as well as an important source of critical inputs that U.S. fruit and vegetable growers rely on. A stable, predictable trade relationship with Canada is essential to the growers, businesses, and consumers who depend on a strong North American fresh produce supply chain.

 “IFPA encourages both governments to continue working toward a negotiated resolution that reduces trade barriers and provides the certainty growers need to plan, invest, and keep fresh produce available and affordable for consumers on both sides of the border.”
