Last week was Agriculture Week in Ontario, which is a week to learn more, and thank one of the backbone industries in the province.
Lisa Thompson, Huron-Bruce MPP and Agriculture Minister says that during the pandemic, the industry thrived.
In 2020, they completed $46.6 million of two-way trade. The industry itself is responsible for $46 billion of the provinces economy, and 1/10 jobs in Ontario is in Agriculture.
