To address underlying concerns within the sector, the Ministry revealed plans to hold an emergency meeting with the leadership of GPMA and NASPAWAP on Wednesday, April 8, 2026. The meeting will focus on resolving challenges confronting producers and preventing future price instability.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with trade associations to find lasting solutions.
