Canada’s grain sector is receiving nearly $4.4 million over two years to support three organizations efforts to grow grain exports, a May 3 news release says. The funds are being provided through the federal AgriMarketing Program.
“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,” Marie-Claude Bibeau, federal minister of agriculture and agri-food, says in the release.
Cereals Canada will receive up to $3.52 million to reach international new markets by promoting the high-quality aspects of Canadian wheat and durum wheat. The Canada Grains Council will receive up to $461,000 to help increase and diversify Canadian grain exports to international markets and seize domestic market opportunities. The Prairie Oat Growers Association will receive up to $417,000 to help increase demand for Canadian oats by promoting the health and environmental benefits, as well as the diverse uses of oats.
