Navigating Uncertainty: The Impact of U.S. Tariffs on Ontario's Food & Beverage Industry

In the complex world of international trade, U.S. tariffs have cast a long shadow of uncertainty over industry, including Ontario's food and beverage processing sector. To shed light on this issue and support the resilience of Ontario processors, FBO hosted "Navigating Uncertainty: The Impact of U.S. Tariffs on Ontario's Food & Beverage Industry." The webinar was a major success, and we've captured it here for our listeners.

The conversation focuses on the challenges and uncertainties facing the Canadian economy, particularly in light of US tariffs. Experts discuss the impact of these tariffs on consumer confidence, business investment, and the overall economic landscape. They emphasize the need for Canada to diversify its trade relationships, address inter-provincial trade barriers, and improve productivity to navigate these uncertain times effectively.
