Statement from BCAC President on U.S. Tariffs

“Today’s tariffs introduce new challenges for B.C.’s farmers and ranchers, adding to the pressures they already face. Our sector has always been resilient, and we will continue to adapt and push forward. BC Agriculture Council is actively engaging with our members to understand the real-time impacts and ensure their voices are heard where it matters most. In the coming weeks, we will be working closely with industry and government to find solutions that strengthen B.C. agriculture, protect local businesses, and support the communities that rely on a thriving sector. We remain committed to ensuring farmers and ranchers have the tools and support they need to remain competitive, drive innovation, and build a strong future for B.C. agriculture.” – Jennifer Woike, President, BC Agriculture Council
