Federal agriculture minister Marie-Claude Bibeau has introduced $4.3 million in funding for the heart beat and particular crops sectors.
Pulse Canada will obtain barely lower than $4.2 million of the funding with $2.3 million aimed toward its 25 by 25 technique. That plan requires 25 p.c of manufacturing to be in new markets by 2025.
The cash can be used to advertise pulses and pulse-based components to worldwide meals producers and meals service “as a sustainable, value-added, healthy ingredient,” stated a authorities information launch.
About $1.5 million can be used for the Ag Transport Coalition Railway Performance Measurement Program and $429,000 can be used to evaluate and resolve boundaries to worldwide commerce.
The Canadian Special Crops Association will obtain $127,944 to work on worldwide alternatives.
Corey Loessin, chair of Pulse Canada, stated Canada already leads the world in pulse manufacturing and exports.
“Today’s investments from the Government of Canada in diversifying markets, exploring new uses, expanding market access and ensuring timely and predictable rail service will help the Canadian pulse industry capitalize on the increasing global demand for sustainable products while growing our economy and improving our environment,” he stated.
The funding comes from the federally funded AgriMarketing program, which helps industry-led promotional actions.
“This announcement is win-win,” stated Bibeau.
“On the one hand we are expanding markets for Canadian-made protein products, and on the other hand we are encouraging farmers to plant more pulses which are a sustainable solution to soil and crop management.”
Bibeau was to have made the announcement in Regina Nov. 17 as a part of a listening tour, however the blizzard southern Saskatchewan made that not possible.
