The federal and Ontario agriculture departments are offering $20 million to share in the costs of seeking more and new export markets.
The money will come from three avenues.
One is for market development and diversification planning to find new markets or to increase exports to existing markets.
The second is to support the development of new products and broader marketing strategies.
The third is for the investments in equipment and technology to support diversified products tailored to meet requirements to enter a new market.
“This investment will help our local farmers and agribusinesses sell more products grown in Ontario to markets around the world,” said Ontario Agriculture Minister Trevor Jones.
“Expanding markets for Ontario food products ensures farmers and food processors have more reliable export opportunities,” said federal Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald,
