Canada adds $250,000 to G7 fertilizer market-monitoring system

Canada will provide an additional $250,000 to the Agricultural Market Information System to expand its monitoring of fertilizer markets, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada announced after a G7 meeting in Paris.

The system, known as AMIS, tracks global food-market conditions and was created by G20 agriculture ministers. The added Canadian contribution is intended to improve information about fertilizer supply and prices at a time when farmers continue to face volatile input costs.

Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald made the commitment during a European mission that included the G7 Agriculture Ministers’ Meeting and meetings in Brussels. G7 ministers discussed fertilizer challenges, soil health and agricultural resilience.

The mission also included the SIAL Paris food trade show, where more than 45 Canadian companies took part in a Canada Pavilion. The department says Canadian agri-food and seafood exports to the European Union reached $6.7 billion in 2025.

The $250,000 commitment supports market monitoring; it is not a direct fertilizer rebate or payment to individual farms.
