New data from Statistics Canada signals a troubling trend in Canada's food manufacturing sector.
From 2021 to 2023, just 67.7 per cent of food processing businesses introduced at least one innovation, down from 72.1 per cent from 2016 to 2018.
The downward innovation trends matter for Canada's economic competitiveness and its ability to respond to labour shortages, supply chain fragilities and the growing demand for more sustainable food systems.
