Agriculture


There are many good reasons to invest in an agri-food or agri-business in Ontario East. Among them are its:
  • Land, home to a proud agricultural industry with farm cash receipts for main commodities greater than $1.5 billion in 2004
  • Workforce, with its high education and skill levels, high productivity and low turnover
  • Location, in the heart of a central region with ample overnight delivery to huge, multiple Canadian and U.S. markets
  • Cost competitiveness, in areas such as worker pay and benefit costs, overall operating costs, start-up capital costs, taxes, healthcare coverage and low-cost, reliably supplied natural gas and electricity
  • Available vacant land—and some available farms

For details please call Jackie St. Pierre at (613) 634-8569 or email.
