The governments of Canada and Manitoba are investing more than $6 million to help modernize food processing facilities and increase food production capacity across Manitoba under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP).Nineteen food processors in Manitoba have been approved for funding for equipment upgrades, facility expansions, and new technologies that will improve efficiency, production capacity, and environmental performance.Some of the approved projects include:Jowett Farms in Blumenort, for refrigeration and line speed improvements;River Valley Specialty Farms in Bagot, for installation of high-accuracy sorter;Prairie Flour Mills in Elie, for grain receiving expansion;Maple Leaf Foods in Brandon, for new equipment;Buffalo Creek Mills in Altona for doubling capacity of oat flaking; andPrairie Fava in Glenboro, for increasing storage capacity.“When we invest in food processors, we’re helping them grow, stay competitive, and ensure they can keep putting their high-quality food on tables here in Canada and around the world. These projects will help build a stronger, more resilient food system while supporting good jobs in the process,” said Heath MacDonald, federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.(continue in article) (ICE TORONTO)
