Food manufacturing numbers up as demand grows
Food manufacturing numbers are up and the province says demand for exports is increasing as more countries look to Saskatchewan and Canada for healthy foods and oils.
Food manufacturing is up more than 21 per cent in Saskatchewan.
Godwin Pon, director of the value-added unit with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, said that’s good news for the province’s agriculture sector.
“Certainly the largest food manufacturing is in our grains and canola crush sector,” Pon said. “So it’s a great opportunity to profile the canola sector and also the grain milling industry as well.”
