Québec premier François Legault was in Sherrington, the heart of field vegetable production on April 11. He announced an investment of $5M to FMS Fresh Produce to build a factory that among other products, will produce mini carrots.
Currently, 33 per cent of the carrots consumed in Québec are mini carrots, all imported from the United States. With its new plant, FMS Fresh Products will become the largest carrot packer in Canada and the first Québec company to produce mini carrots.
“So it will be easier to find carrots from Québec in our grocery stores,” said Legault. “We are also reducing our reliance on American products. We'll continue this momentum over the coming months to protect our businesses, jobs, and our economy.”
Company founder is François Daigneault and sons Marc-Olivier and Steven run the operation.
