Small- and medium-sized businesses are the backbone of the Canadian economy. They provide important goods and services, create jobs and strengthen communities across the country. Our government is committed to ensuring they can grow and thrive.
The Government of Canada has committed over $1.84 Million to 75 small-to-medium size food businesses to promote their products and develop their export markets abroad by undertaking overseas missions, attending key food-related tradeshows, and other marketing activities.
For example, in Quebec, more than $390,000 in funding was committed to 16 small-to-medium sized businesses; including over $44,000 in support for Trans-Herbe Inc. to help increase export sales through outgoing missions, attending tradeshows and developing promotional products.
Helping Canada's agricultural, agri-food, fish and seafood sectors expand into new domestic and international markets is part of the Government of Canada's plan to grow the economy and strengthen the middle class.
