About CCGA

Who is CCGA?

Canadian Canola Growers Association is farmer-founded and farmer-led, representing approximately 40,000 canola farmers across Canada. CCGA has been at the forefront of driving change for canola farmers, researching impactful policy topics and bringing farmers’ interests forward on national and international agricultural issues.

The association has been an administrator of the Advance Payments Program since 1984, providing cash advances to help thousands of farmers better market their commodities and finance their operations. The Advance Payments Program is a federal loan program administered by CCGA. It offers Canadian farmers marketing flexibility through interest-free and low-interest cash advances.
