Leif Carlson, Director of Market Intelligence and Trade Policy
Leif Carlson (Lay-f) M.Sc.
Growing up on a farm in Saskatchewan has given Leif an appreciation for what makes Canadian agriculture worth championing. In his role as director of market intelligence and trade policy at Cereals Canada, Leif promotes Canadian cereals and works to protect the interests of the cereals value chain on the global stage.
Leif holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree and a Master of Science in Agricultural Economics from the University of Saskatchewan. Prior to joining Cereals Canada, Leif held a variety of sales, market analysis, and logistics roles with the Manitoba Department of Agriculture and the Canadian Wheat Board.
The Canadian cereals value chain benefits from Leif’s depth of knowledge, his passion for agriculture, and his unwavering support. His work helps to ensure reliable market access and resilient demand for Canadian wheat, durum, barley, and oats for years to come.
