The agriculture industry is currently facing a major labour shortage problem, and temporary foreign workers (TFW) are essential to the solution, says the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA).

The Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council reported that 28,200 agricultural jobs remained unfilled, resulting in approximately $3.5 billion in lost sales.

Agriculture, along with the entire food system, depends on one thing – people.
