AGT Food and Ingredients Inc.
AGT Food and Ingredients Inc. (AGT Foods) is headquartered in Regina, Saskatchewan, and is majority owned by Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited. The company was founded to build a vertically integrated supply chain for plant-based proteins and pulses, processing raw crops into ingredients for both export and domestic markets. AGT Foods sources and processes pulses, grains, and oilseeds across Canada, the United States, and Africa. The company's asset base covers cleaning, splitting, milling, and packaging facilities. Its product portfolio includes lentils, peas, chickpeas, beans, durum wheat, and oilseeds. Subsidiaries such as Arbel, AGT Poortman, AGT Foods Africa, and MobilGrain extend the firm's reach into staple foods and grains. The company operates through multiple subsidiaries under the AGT umbrella, including Arbel (pasta), Pastavilla, and CLIC. That structure supports both branded consumer products and industrial ingredient supply. The firm maintains a digital presence with apps for producers and traders (AGT4Producers, AGT4Trade). AGT's ownership by Fairfax Financial Holdings provides a permanent capital base, distinguishing the firm from pulse traders and processors that rely on short-term debt markets. This structure allows AGT to hold inventory across crop cycles and invest in processing capacity without the liquidity constraints of standalone commodity merchants.
