The food and beverage manufacturing sector is key to a prosperous Canadian economy. Food and beverage manufacturers are the leading manufacturing sector employer providing jobs for over 250,000 Canadians. Almost 11,000 businesses supply approximately 75% of all the processed food and beverage products in Canada and exports continue to increase with a value of $29.2 billion in 2016. Canadian food and beverage manufacturers are also the largest buyer of food grown by Canadian farmers.
