The provincial government has launched a new Business Pathways website to support food and agri-product entrepreneurs, businesses, and organizations throughout all stages of the business life cycle.
Agriculture Minister Derek Johnson says that the website can help Manitobans build their future in food, whether they have a new food product idea, see an unmet demand for local food, or simply want to grow a food business.
“This 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,” Minister Johnson adds.
The province says that the new website incorporates resources, programs, and services provided by business service providers and industry partners from the entire ecosystem.
Economic Development, Investment and Trade Minister Cliff Cullen says that agriculture is a major driver of Manitoba’s economy and that small businesses create many of the province’s skilled careers.
"Entrepreneurialism in the food space is exciting and innovative and offers great potential for growth and expansion. This new website will take out so much of the guesswork involved in launching, marketing and succeeding as a new business,” Minister Cullen adds.
