The DRC acts as a third party financial
dispute resolution body for fruit and vegetable growers. It is getting $118,795
to deliver an outreach and education initiative on the impending Safe Food for
Canadians Act (SFCA) and Regulations.
An additional $58,807 goes to support
the industry to initiate work toward updating the Canadian grade standards for
fresh fruits and vegetables in order to reflect current market and consumer
preferences.
