Toronto, Ontario - Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
The governments of Canada and Ontario are investing an additional $6 million in the Grow Ontario Market Initiative to help agri-food businesses and industry organizations expand their sales and grow their markets. The increase brings the total funding for the Initiative through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership to $12 million.
The Grow Ontario Market Initiative was launched in 2023 to provide primary producers, food processors and industry organizations with cost-share funding to help them increase sales in domestic and foreign markets through market analysis and planning, new product development and marketing.
In addition to the new funding for the Grow Ontario Market Initiative, the Ontario government has been promoting the province's agriculture and food products outside our borders, most recently during a successful trade mission to Mexico to promote grain and bakery products.
