Growing the Agriculture Equipment Manufacturing Industry in Canada
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
September 2nd, 2016: The Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada
(AMC) is pleased to announce a new corporate partnership with Farm Credit
Canada (FCC) taking immediate effect. FCC joins Canada's Farm Progress Show and Supreme Basics as one of AMC’s key corporate partners.
Under the leadership of
president, Leah Olson, AMC has a new strategic plan that was rolled out in
December 2015 that focuses the organization on advocacy and increasing
knowledge about the important economic contributions of agriculture equipment
manufacturers across Canada. More than
half of the agriculture equipment manufacturers are located in communities less
than 10,000 people and despite their remote location, provide great employment
opportunities in manufacturing, finance, marketing and various other realms.
In addition to employment,
agriculture equipment manufacturers produce some of the most innovative
products globally. In 2015, Canada
exported just over $1.8 billion of agriculture implements globally. Key markets included the United States,
Australia, Russia, Kazakhstan and Germany.
"We recognize the
national scope and commitment of Farm Credit Canada to the agriculture industry
which aligns well with the strategic plan we launched last December at our
annual general meeting," said Olson.
"Our mission is to grow the agriculture equipment manufacturing industry in
Canada and with partners like FCC, we know this can be done.
