Saskatchewan based agriculture businesses to share $10 million

GIFS CEO Jason Reinheimer said the funding enhances its ability to generate high-quality genomic data needed to advance next-generation agriculture.

“The increased capacity and efficiency of the NovaSeq X Plus will help GIFS to further bridge the gap between scientific discovery and practical application, enabling faster translation of genomic innovations into solutions that benefit farmers, strengthen food systems, and support economic growth across the Prairies,” Reinheimer said.

POS Biosciences Corp. and Bioriginal Food & Science Corp. will modernize and expand processing and packaging infrastructure to help extract and deliver more high-value nutrients and specialty products.

The improvements will give Canadian companies and consumers the option to purchase made-in-Canada specialty ingredients that meet the quality expectations Canada is known for around the world.

Saskatchewan livestock sectors will benefit from an expansion at North 49 Foods Ltd. to increase production and develop new export markets, while upgrades at Prairie Meats Inc. will allow it to manufacture food, regulated to a high standard, for distribution in Saskatchewan and across Canada.

PAMI in Humboldt will use $200,000 towards the purchase of advanced agricultural processing equipment and technologies.

The announcement was made on Wednesday afternoon during Ag in Motion, near Langham.
