Agricultural Feed Wholesaling in Canada Industry Data and Analysis
Feed wholesalers in Canada have seen their revenues rise and fall with overall agricultural prices over the current period. As limited supplies and the high input costs of fertilizer and crude oil kept crop and meat prices elevated through 2022, wholesalers raised their prices to match. The strong performance of the agricultural sector has likewise boosted demand for feed for cattle, pigs and poultry. These upward price pressures have since been alleviated as global crop availability and domestic yield grow, pushing revenues down in 2023 and 2024. Aside from agricultural applications, pet food sales have climbed with pet ownership and preferences for health-conscious pet products. Industry revenue overall has grown at a CAGR of 5.8% to reach $9.0 billion Canadian, despite a 2.5% dip in 2025 alone.
