The funding will allow the company to expand its presence in the United States.

The project includes activities to increase demand for their sauces, condiments and teas, through attendance at key tradeshows, market research and advertising.

The project is funded through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership’s AgriMarketing Program, which helps industry increase and diversify exports and seize market opportunities.
