Business Risk Management
Federal, provincial and territorial (FPT) Ministers of Agriculture have reached agreement on the five-year Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership policy framework. Governments will continue to deliver a complete and effective suite of business risk management (BRM) programs.
Business Risk Management (BRM) programs are in place to help farmers in managing risks from income declines resulting from drought, flooding, low prices, and increased input costs. The programs work together by providing protection for different types of losses, as well as cash flow options.
- AgriInvest helps cover small margin declines.
- AgriStability assists in cases of large margin declines caused by circumstances such as low prices and rising input costs.
- AgriInsurance offers protection for production losses related to specific crops or commodities caused by natural hazards.
