Boxwood, euonymus and ilex losses

In light of the prohibition of exports of boxwood, euonymus and ilex to the US market, CNLA is asking for your help in identifying the economic losses incurred, and expected to be incurred, by the Canadian nursery sector.  CFIA has asked for this value to support their negotiations with USDA-APHIS. CNLA will use the value of these losses in discussions with Agriculture Canada’s business risk management program staff when advocating for support for those growers affected.  All data provided will be kept confidential and only amalgamated numbers will be shared.
 
Please provide your best estimates to the following questions and return your responses by the end of the day Friday, June 10.
