Cereals Canada and the Canadian International Grains Institute are merging after approval from their members.
The merged organization will now be looking for a chief executive officer.
Cereals Canada was formed in 2013 to represent Canada’s cereal value chain across priority areas including market access, market development, advocacy and innovation.
Cigi was formed by the federal government in 1972 to provide processors with independent technical services such as end-use quality evaluations, milling and end-use support.
The consolidated organization will operate under the Cereals Canada name, and Cigi will maintain its brand as a division within the overarching organization.
