US EditionIs grocery relief coming? Economist says Canadian grocery prices may level off
- Loblaw, a major Canadian grocery retailer, reported a profit increase and is responding to U.S. Tariffs by promoting Canadian products in 2025.
- The tariffs and Canada-U.S. Trade tensions have driven consumers and Loblaw to seek more local produce, supported by increased stocking of Canadian goods.
- More than 80 percent of certain vegetables in B.C., like spinach and onions, come from the U.S., highlighting North American interdependence in produce supply.
- Loblaw's CEO Per Bank mentioned that the team has been actively working to address the challenges posed by tariffs by sourcing more products domestically instead of relying heavily on U.S. Suppliers, alongside reporting net earnings of $503 million for the quarter ending March 22.
- Loblaw intends to allocate $2.2 billion next year to launch 80 additional stores, primarily smaller discount grocers, in an effort to maintain its growth amid evolving customer preferences.
