Although the Corporation is an agency of the Ministry of Agriculture, the Growing Forward federal-provincial agreement provides the structure and guiding principles for the programs it offers. Growing Forward features a business risk suite consisting of four key components, two of which are administered by SCIC:
• AgriInvest: a savings account for producers that provides flexible coverage for small income declines and supports investments to mitigate risks or improve market income;
• AgriStability: a margin-based program that provides income support when a producer experiences larger income losses;
• AgriRecovery: a disaster relief framework that allows governments to provide rapid assistance to fill gaps not covered by existing government programs; and
• AgriInsurance (Crop Insurance): an existing production insurance program and other insurance products, which will expand to include other commodities.
