Another year of guaranteed financial return and industry investment for CRSB Certified beef producers from Cargill and its supply chain partners

The CRSB works collaboratively with its members and partners to support the efforts of farmers and ranchers and the investment they have made to advancing sustainability. Together with its customers, Cargill is sponsoring another year of the Certification Recognition Credit for CRSB Certified operations and some exciting broader investments to benefit beef producers.

This year’s Certification Recognition Credit will be provided for another year to “fill the gap” for Canadian beef producers who have made the upfront investment of becoming CRSB Certified but did not receive at least $400 CAD in financial return for qualifying cattle processed in 2024 as part of the existing Cargill Qualifying Cattle Credits. We would like to recognize Cargill’s sourcing partners contributing to this effort: Centennial Food Solutions, Gordon Food Service, Intercity Packers (Cactus Club Cafe and CHOP Steakhouse & Bar), MacGregors Meat & Seafood, Metro, Recipe Unlimited and Walmart.

Cargill is also excited to partner with McDonald’s Canada to further invest in the Canadian beef industry. Over the next two years, Cargill and McDonald’s will invest in producer-facing resiliency programs, youth and industry engagement, and research to continue to build on the Canadian beef industry’s strong foundation supporting responsibly raised cattle.

CRSB Certified operations do not need to apply separately for the Certification Recognition Credit from Cargill and can expect their payment in April 2025. Provided that the operation became certified or was an active CRSB Certified operation in 2024, and maintains an active certification at the start of 2025, the operation is eligible to receive a Certification Recognition Credit. The credit is based on the difference between $400 CAD and the amount that the operation earned via Cargill’s Qualifying Cattle Credit payments in 2024
