Village Farms Applauds Budget 2026 Common Cannabis Excise Stamp
Village Farms welcomed Canada's Budget 2026 proposal for a common cannabis excise duty stamp, a policy the company has advocated as a top priority.
The measure cuts the number of unique stamps from 13 to six and takes effect January 1, 2028, reducing supply-chain complexity and compliance costs for producers like VFF.
The release cites the sector's growing footprint — roughly $16 billion of GDP contribution and $2.83 billion in 2025 farm cash receipts — and reiterates VFF's push for broader excise reform and an export strategy.
