Here are a few fun facts that quantify a few realities of the farming sector.

100%: The U.S. has taken full advantage of additional tariff-free access for eggs and egg products (e.g., shell eggs, egg powder, etc.) since the implementation of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). In 2024, the negotiated limit of eggs and egg products has already been filled, meaning there will be no further tariff-free imports of egg and egg products from the U.S. and Mexico for the remainder of 2024.

43%: The rate of growth in agricultural production in Quebec between 2018 and today.

3: The number of grains – rice, corn, wheat – that make up about 60 per cent of the calories from plants consumed by humans across the globe.

17,433: The number of acres of land with agricultural zoning in Laval, the province’s third largest city.

The farm zone represents 29 per cent of the land mass of the island city.
