Government guarantees
The CWB currently has financial guarantees on initial payments, borrowings and credit sales through the Government of Canada. Guaranteed initial payments provide a minimum floor price, giving farmers protection from the extreme volatility of grain markets. Guaranteed borrowings are used to finance payments to farmers before sales revenue is received, helping our farmers meet their operating costs.
Credit guarantees allow us to compete in a marketplace with multinational companies who have access to similar or even more generous credit programs offered by their respective governments.
