Saskatoon, Saskatchewan - PrairiesCan
Saskatchewan is at the core of agricultural production and innovation in Canada, accounting for almost 40% of the country's total farm area and a value-added ag sector that has more than doubled over the past 10 years. As the ag economy grows and evolves, it is more important than ever to invest in Canadian-made solutions that support locally produced crops and agri-food products. The Government of Canada is helping Saskatchewan organizations and businesses build on their historic strengths and tap into new opportunities to strengthen and grow the ag economy.
Today, the Honourable Terry Duguid, Minister for PrairiesCan, announced new federal funding of $3,265,583 for four projects across Saskatchewan. This funding will create new prospects for value-added agri-food through strategic investments in individual companies and increased capacity for the local food ingredient cluster. The agricultural manufacturing sector will also benefit from commercialization of new technology to load railcars with improved efficiency and safety.
