The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, announced an investment of $264,000 in support of dairy processor La Maison d’affinage Maurice Dufour.
The investment, made through the Dairy Processing Investment Fund (DPIF), will help to increase pasteurization capacity, improve the whey filtration process and acquire a vacuum packaging system. The project consists of the purchase and installation of equipment in order to increase production capacity, while improving overall efficiency and increasing the demand for Canadian milk.
DPIF was designed to help the sector increase productivity and competitiveness, and help dairy processors prepare for market changes resulting from the Canada – European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). The program provides funding for capital investment projects, such as installing new equipment or to access technical, managerial or business expertise.
