The governments of Canada and Manitoba are investing in major capital infrastructure and investment projects to increase food processing capacity in Manitoba.
Through the Sustainable Canadian Agriculture Partnership (Sustainable CAP), the governments are investing up to $15.4 million over four years in 70 projects through four streams of the Capital Infrastructure and Investments program to enhance efficiency, productivity and environmental sustainability.
Some of the companies and their funded projects include:
“We’re supporting Manitoba companies to process more of our homegrown agricultural products right here, so we can grow our agriculture sector and our economy,” said Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn. “Helping food processors scale up production will mean more good Manitoba jobs, an increased value and volume of Manitoba-grown commodities, and a more competitive economy that benefits all Manitobans.”
