Livestock show introduces Canadian Buyers Program

Oct 19, 2026 | 1:21 PM

Canadian Western Agribition (CWA) wants to bring more livestock and agriculture buyers to its annual show.

Qualified Canadian buyers based outside Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta may receive up to $1,000 toward eligible travel and accommodation expenses to attend Agribition.

Agribition CEO Shaun Kindopp said bringing more buyers to Agribition adds value to the show for everyone involved.

“For our exhibitors, it means more opportunities to showcase their products to serious buyers. For buyers, it creates access to some of the best livestock, genetics and products Canadian agriculture has to offer, all in one place,” Kindopp said. “We’re excited to work to bring more Canadian buyers from beyond the Prairies to CWA.”

The program will primarily support livestock buyers, while also providing opportunities for select buyers in agricultural equipment and other agribusiness markets.
