Canadian grains industry committed to finding new markets
MELFORT, Sask. — The federal government will spend roughly $4.4 million over the next two years to support three industry organizations in their efforts to grow Canada’s grain exports.
Increasing markets for the grain industry benefits farmers and as the demand for Canadian grain exports continues to increase, it is important to find new trade opportunities.
Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau said Canada’s grain sector is a major driver of economic growth and increasing demand for Canadian grain products from global markets makes sense.
“Canadian grain producers are a key link in global food security. Today’s investment will help industry organizations build new relationships in international markets so we can continue to feed a growing global population,” Bibeau said.
