CEAg Talks: Inside Canada’s Greenhouse Sector
March 16, 2026 
Canada’s greenhouse vegetable industry sits at the center of a highly integrated North American food system, and the policy decisions shaping that system are evolving quickly. In this CEAg Talk, Richard Lee, Executive Director of the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers (OGVG), discusses recent developments in Canadian domestic food policy, rising production costs, and cross-border trade dynamics.
Ontario is home to one of the largest concentrations of greenhouse vegetable production in North America, supplying significant volumes of tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers to both Canadian and U.S. markets. As Lee explains, the sector’s continued growth depends on stable trade relationships, consistent regulatory frameworks, and the confidence for growers to make long-term infrastructure investments.
