About the Program
With support from ACAAFS Program, SaskFlax has teamed up with Weber Commodities Inc. in this pilot project to provide a series of reports on supply, demand and world flax markets.
The intent is to help Saskatchewan flax producers make informed, timely decisions in the marketing and cropping of flax.
In conjunction with the reports, a focus group of flax producers and other industry representatives will provide feedback over the first year of the project and evaluate whether the project should be extended past February 2010.
