Abstract

The biofood industry is a vital part of the Quebec economy and plays a major role in its cultural identity. It encompasses a wide range of activities related to the production, processing, distribution, and consumption of food and beverages from both organic and conventional agriculture. By 2021, the biofood industry's contribution to Quebec's gross domestic product was estimated at over 6% of the economy. Quebec biofood exports reached a record $11.4 billion in 2022. However, SMEs are still under-represented among exporting companies. This under-representation may result from significant financial issues specific to SMEs and other export-related characteristics of the biofood sector. In this study, the authors provide a deeper understanding of the financial issues involved in SME export activities, which can be critical at any point in the process, to propose a tool to help them plan the different expenses they are likely to incur. L'industrie bioalimentaire revêt une importance capitale dans l'économie québécoise et joue un rôle majeur dans son identité culturelle. Elle englobe un large éventail d'activités liées à la production, à la transformation, à la distribution et à la consommation d'aliments et de boissons provenant à la fois de l'agriculture biologique et de l'agriculture conventionnelle. En 2021, la contribution de l'industrie bioalimentaire au produit intérieur brut du Québec était estimée à plus de 6 % de l'économie. Les exportations bioalimentaires du Québec ont atteint un record de 11,4 milliards de dollars en 2022. Cependant, les PME sont toujours sous-représentées parmi les entreprises exportatrices. Cette sous-représentation peut découler d’enjeux financiers importants et propres aux PME et autres particularités du secteur bioalimentaire en matière d'exportation. Dans cette étude, les auteurs approfondissent les connaissances sur les enjeux financiers des activités d’exportation des PME qui peuvent se révéler critiques à tout moment du processus, afin de proposer un outil d’aide à la planification des différentes dépenses que les PME seraient susceptibles d’engager.
