Canadian Seed Growers’ Association (CSGA)

The Canadian Seed Growers’ Association (CSGA) is a non-profit organization representing the interests of Canadian seed growers. We provide leadership as the only Canadian organization to monitor and certify pedigreed seed for all agricultural crops in Canada except potatoes. As leaders in the seed industry, the CSGA is involved in new and emerging technologies, discussions on timely and topical issues, procedures and policies to monitor and regulate production, and policies to protect its members both domestically and abroad. We represent the interests of over 3,000 seed growers and 2,500 seed growing businesses spanning 8 provinces. We certify 1.18 million acres of over 78 different crop kinds and over 2,000 different varieties. The seed sector contributes nearly $6 billion to the Canadian economy.
