Province opens "New Business Pathways" for agriculture

Oct 19, 2022

As part of Small Business Week, the province is launching a new Business Pathways website.

The website's focus is on agriculture and is designed to support food and agri-product entrepreneurs, businesses and organizations.

Agriculture Minister Derek Johnson says the comprehensive resource fosters economic development and provides the business management, product and process development and marketing support that new and existing agri-food businesses need to effectively enter and compete in the domestic and global marketplaces.

"Whether you have a new food product idea, you see an unmet demand for local food, or you want to grow a food business, the Business Pathways website can help you build your future in food."

The new website incorporates resources, programs and services provided by business service providers and industry partners.
