MANITOBA AG-BIO SECTOR GETS BOOST FROM FEDS AND PROVINCE

摘要

Manitoba's Composites Innovation Centre is receiving over $1.9 million in combined federal-provincial funding from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development to support North America's first agriculture fibre grading program, FibreCITY. "Biofibres are a growing and very exciting part of Manitoba's agricultural industry. Strategic investments in the Composites Innovation Centre will ensure we will continue to be a leader in the years ahead, creating opportu-nities for growers, processors, innovators and their customers. By working together, Manitoba will achieve its goal of a $2 billion byproducts sector by 2020," said Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development Minister Ron Kostyshyn.
