The
federal agriculture department is giving up to $393,070 to Flowers
Canada Growers to increase sales, especially to foreign customers.
The investment will allow FCG to develop standardized training protocols for flower growers on Canada’s new export certification program for greenhouse-grown plants. The training will ensure workers and managers understand and comply with the new program.
The funding will also help FCG increase their market share domestically and internationally through various marketing activities, including tradeshows, sales missions, publishing a directory and buyers’ guide, marketing and promotion activities.
