Business Risk Management

To facilitate a smooth transition from APF to Growing Forward, APF programs will continue until new programs are ready to launch.

Canadian farmers face many risks that can affect the viability and profitability of their business, including adverse weather, disease, insects or changes in commodity prices, input costs and production yields. Business Risk Management programs are designed to help farmers better manage these risks.

Governments are working to improve and develop new business risk management programs that are simpler, more predictable, and more responsive.

The current suite of business risk management programs includes:

Canadian Agricultural Income Stabilization (CAIS) Program

Advance Payments Program (APP)

Price Pooling Program (PPP)

Private Sector Risk Management Partnerships (PSRMP)
