Ontario Investment Supports Agri-Food Businesses and Job Creation

On 13 October, Canada and Ontario announced almost $22 million through the Market Diversification and Trade Resiliency Initiative to help more than 130 agri-food businesses expand export opportunities. The programme is expected to support 925 jobs across Ontario. Businesses expanding production and exports may require recruitment, workforce training and skills-development support. The confirmed $22 million is a combined public investment in eligible agri-food projects, not a single HR contract or recruitment budget.
