Governments Invest $5 Million In Saskatchewan Food Industry Development Centre

Canada's Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Lawrence MacAulay and Saskatchewan's Agriculture Minister David Marit announced funding today of $5 million for the Saskatchewan Food Industry Development Centre in Saskatoon.

The funding, delivered through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP), will support the Food Centre's work to enable the continued growth of value-added revenue and agri-food exports in the province over the next five years.

"Saskatchewan has always been a leader in agriculture production," said MacAulay. "With the Food Centre's hard work over the years, and continued work to come, there will be even more opportunities to commercialize regional products in the heart of the Prairies and we're proud to support their efforts."
