What is the CAFI Program?

Thanks to new funding provided through the Agricultural Policy Framework, the CAFI Program will support industry in taking integrated, long-term, value-chain-based action to increase presence in global markets.

The CAFI Program is designed to support industry in building long-term strategies that will position them for success in key markets and respond to increasing consumer demands and global competition. The Program will help industry improve access to global markets for Canadian agricultural products and to strengthen the sector's capacity to market their products abroad.

The Program provides matching funding for industry activities that enhance and promote Canada's reputation as the world leader in supplying safe, high-quality agriculture, agri-food, beverage and seafood products that meet the changing demands of world markets.

The CAFI program delivers its financial support by providing matching contributions to industry associations in the following major areas:

• How Does it Work?
• Branding and Market Development
• Technical-Marketing
• Trade Advocacy
