The Government of Canada and the Prince Edward Island (PEI) Department of Agriculture are redirecting funds into existing programs that support farmers and agri-businesses in finding new markets and foster innovation.
Through existing Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP) programming, the federal and provincial governments are redirecting cost-shared funding into the following programs to further benefit producers:
- The Product and Market Development Program
- The Strategic Industry Growth Initiative
- The Business Development Program
In addition to the increased investments through existing Sustainable CAP programs, the PEI Department of Agriculture will be working in collaboration with the PEI Department of Economic Development, Innovation and Trade to further support agricultural initiatives applying to trade and new market programs offered through Innovation PEI.
