A new way of delivering crop inputs
Efficient Operations
We removed the infrastructure, inventory, and capital overhead that make Canadian crop inputs expensive.
Farmers Pay Too Much
for Crop Inputs
Paradigm Inputs Certified Premium Generics are the lowest-cost crop input products in the Canadian market.
Paradigm Inputs is doing things differently.
We examined every step in how crop inputs reach farmers and rebuilt the flow to make farmers more profitable.
The New Paradigm
Three pillars that lower crop-input costs without compromising chemistry.
The same chemistry at a better price
Premium Generics
The same active ingredients that farmers know and trust, without the brand premium.
Local Connections
Independent Brokers
Instead of a traditional retail network, our products are sold by people in your community who understand local demands.
See how it works
Pay for the chemistry, not the layers.
We rebuilt the crop-input supply chain so the savings flow back to the farmer.
The Challenge in Canadian Agriculture
Farmers can't afford to farm
Canadian farmers are at a competitive disadvantage in the global marketplace.
The economics of agriculture are eroding
Global markets, trade and commodity prices are volatile while at home the price of land, equipment and inputs continue to rise. At the same time, crop prices are not keeping pace with production costs and each growing season, margins get thinner.
Unfortunately, for many operations, breakeven is the target.
Reformulated or repackaged chemistry sold at a premium price
Over the past two decades, very few new active ingredients have reached the market. Most investments have focused on reformulations or repackaging existing chemistry rather than investments in new chemistry.
Farmers carry all the risk
Farmers fund the entire crop input system, yet they don't consistently share in the return. Every manufacturer, distributor, retailer, lender and logistics provider depends on the dollars that start on the farm, regardless of whether that farm is profitable. What looks like a simple supply chain is actually a heavy, multi-step network built on infrastructure, inventory and margin, costs that stack up long before product hits the field.
It once made sense when new chemistry required support and investment, but today that same system is still being used, and farmers are the ones paying for it.
The bottom line
Year after year, margins keep getting thinner
