Ontario industry generates almost 4 billion dollar to economy

摘要

TOGA study finds that "for every dollar of greenhouse activity, the economy as a whole experiences output impacts of 2.81 dollar." "An economic engine contributing 3.9 billion dollar to Ontario's economy." That's how Margaret Walton, senior partner with Planscape, described the results of her firm's study, "Greenhouses Grow Ontario." The economic impact study was presented at the annual industry conference hosted by The Ontario Greenhouse Alliance (TOGA) earlier this year. Walton teamed up with Dr. Richard DiFrancesco of Regional Analytics Inc. to assess the economic impact of the growing greenhouse sector in Ontario. According to DiFrancesco's analysis, "Ontario's greenhouse industry has an economic multiplier of 2.81. That means that for every dollar of greenhouse activity, the economy as a whole experiences output impacts of 2.81 dollar."
