About us
The Canada Organic Trade Association is the membership-based association for the organic sector in Canada: representing growers, processors, certifiers, provincial farmers' associations, importers, exporters, retailers and others throughout the organic value chain. COTA's mission is to promote and protect the growth of organic trade to benefit the environment, farmers, the public and the economy. COTA brings together the diversity of Canada’s organic sector: from farmer and processor to retail, including food products, fibre and textiles, personal care, and emerging sectors such as organic aquaculture. COTA is a member-service organization: providing information, data and strategic insights to its membership base, representing organic to the media and government, and leading consumer education and promotion campaigns to benefit organic. COTA is the co-founder of Organic Week and manages the national “Choose Canada Organic” campaign. COTA protects organic by playing an active role in standard-setting and industry priority-setting, as well as influence on important regulatory issues, including a seat on the Plant Breeders’ Rights Advisory Committee. COTA also leads a series of export missions internationally: promoting Canadian organic products abroad, building market intelligence on key markets, and developing the market and regulatory conditions to benefit Canadian organic companies abroad. COTA has been a champion of organic equivalency arrangements to encourage trade and improve market access for Canadian operators. COTA places a premium on its relationship with Canada’s government in Ottawa, and takes a leadership role on behalf of the organic sector to ensure our stakeholders and their needs are heard by policymakers.

🌍🍽️ Happy #WorldFoodDay ! Today, we celebrate the power of food to bring communities together and nurture the planet. 🌱 Choosing organic food supports sustainable farming practices that protect our environment, promote biodiversity, and ensure healthy, chemical-free produce. From the soil to your plate, organic agriculture prioritizes ecosystems, reducing harmful pesticides and encouraging better land stewardship. 🌾 Let's honour the hands that grow our food and advocate for healthier production methods that feed both people and the planet. #WorldFoodDay #ChooseOrganic #SustainableAgriculture #HealthyPlanet --------------- 🌍🍽️ Bonne Journée mondiale de l'alimentation ! Aujourd'hui, nous célébrons le pouvoir de la nourriture pour rassembler les communautés et nourrir la planète. 🌱 Choisir des aliments biologiques, c'est soutenir des pratiques agricoles durables qui protègent notre environnement, favorisent la biodiversité et garantissent des produits sains et sans produits chimiques. Du sol à votre assiette, l'agriculture biologique donne la priorité aux écosystèmes, en réduisant les pesticides nocifs et en encourageant une meilleure gestion des terres. 🌾 Rendons hommage aux mains qui cultivent notre nourriture et plaidons pour des méthodes de production plus saines qui nourrissent à la fois les gens et la planète. #Journée mondiale de l'alimentation #ChooseOrganic #SustainableAgriculture #HealthyPlanet

This week, Canada Organic Trade Association was across Parliament Hill advocating on behalf of the organic sector. On Tuesday afternoon, I presented to the House of Commons Agriculture and Agri-Food Committee for their study on carbon border adjustment mechanisms. We explained how organic should be exempt from any future CBAM considerations due to organic's already recognized environmental contributions and instead of creating more sticks, we need more carrots to incentivize climate-friendly practises like organic agriculture and trade.

The Canadian Food Expo was a grand success in the Indo-pacific region with our delegation of organic companies meeting with buyers in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Canada Organic Trade Association was proud to partner and drive more sales to these regions where we have successfully negotiated organic equivalency arrangements to faciliate trade. Thank you to the Trade Commissioner Service | Service des délégués commerciaux for such a great job organizing!
