Provincial abattoirs are receiving a provincial investment.
Abattoirs can apply to receive parts of $2 million dedicated to help them grow, explains Lambton-Kent-Middlesex MPP Monte McNaughton.
Projects eligible for support include capital upgrades for enhanced food safety and improvements in the safe handling and housing of animals.
The province also announced a $292,000 investment to help Beef Farmers of Ontario market to emerging markets in Vietnam, Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines and the European Union. McNaughton says it’s important to continually find new markets for farmers.
