Keep it Clean releases 2026 Product Advisory for Canadian growers

With global export requirements continuing to evolve, Keep it Clean has released its 2026 Product Advisory to inform growers and crop advisors about potential market risks tied to the use of some crop protection products on certain crops.   

Canada’s agriculture sector depends heavily on international markets, with up to 90 per cent of canola, more than 80 per cent of wheat, barley and oats, and 85 per cent of pulses exported each year. The annual Product Advisory provides timely insight into product and crop combinations that could pose market access risks, helping growers make informed decisions and protect the marketability of their crops. 

“Requirements in our export markets, like maximum residue limits, can change from year to year,” said Krista Zuzak, Director of Crop Protection and Production at Cereals Canada. “The 2026 Product Advisory provides growers and crop advisors with the most up-to-date information on crop protection products that can create market risks in various crops.”  

Keep it Clean will also be hosting a Product Advisory webinar on May 7, at 11:00 am CDT, covering key changes to export market requirements. The webinar welcomes growers, crop advisors and other value chain stakeholders looking to better understand potential market risks before making crop protection application decisions this season.    

While preparing for the upcoming growing season, Keep it Clean encourages growers to review the 2026 Product Advisory and discuss any crop protection products that are flagged on the Advisory with their grain buyers.
