Protein Industries Canada announced 13 technology projects last year.
"We've had great support from our members in Manitoba," said CEO Bill Greuel. "A significant amount of the investments we've made have been in that province. We've got four projects, total investment of $116 million and it really spans the value chain. We've got work going on in processing and a lot of work going on in the digital ag space too."
The Manitoba-based projects are expected to create 570 new jobs, 18 new products and 10 new patents, while 75 per cent of them will reduce environmental impact.
Greuel says 2021 will see major projects advance including as Merit and Roquette. He says on the digital side they continue to work with Farmers Edge.
