Connecting Producers with Programs
As an agency of the Ontario government, Agricorp delivers government and non-government risk management programs. With our excellent customer service and reliable, cost-effective delivery, we have received national and international recognition.
We have built a strong reputation for being customer-focused and working collaboratively with Ontario's agri-food industry to deliver more effective programs aimed at managing risks. Agricorp's expertise in effective program design and efficient delivery give us an advantage in partnering with industry and government to help producers manage all kinds of risks, including financial, food safety, environmental, and market security.
The five-year, federal-provincial-territorial Agricultural Policy Framework (APF) provides a long-term structure to help ensure the sustainability of Canadian agriculture. Agricorp is known for its integrity and enjoys a strong relationship with producers, allowing the organization to expand into new service areas under the five chapters of the APF: food safety and quality, environment, industry renewal, science and innovation, and business risk management.
Our workforce includes more than 240 staff working at the Guelph office and a province-wide network of 125 full- and part-time field staff. Administrative costs (approximately $30 million per year) are shared 60:40 between the federal and provincial governments.
