Based in Longueuil, Quebec, the Union des Producteurs Agricoles (UPA) operates as a professional association for farmers and forestry producers. Guided by values such as respect for people, solidarity, collective action, social justice, fairness, and democracy, it seeks to promote and defend the professional, economic, social, and moral interests of Quebec’s farm and forestry sectors. Representing roughly 42,000 farmers and all forestry producers in the province, the UPA stands as the province’s official voice for these communities and is organized through 92 locals, 12 regional federations, 159 unions, and 26 specialized groups. It supports its members by addressing professional and community concerns and helps sustain rural life by aligning with broader social and economic trends in Quebec. The federation recognizes the global context of farming and forestry and participates in collective action with other groups as appropriate. In April 2026, the UPA disclosed an agreement in principle with Hydro-Québec, reflecting ongoing collaboration with public partners to support rural producers.
