The Manitoba government is providing a second round of funding to support the Cereals Canada-led Global Agriculture Technology Exchange (Gate) project.
It will help revitalize Winnipeg's downtown core while providing critical support to farmers, researchers and global customers.
The funding announcement follows last week’s signing of a memorandum of understanding between Cereals Canada and James Richardson & Sons, Limited, related to the future home of the facility.
The future Gate facility will support Canadian agriculture through a state-of-the-art mill, six advanced laboratories, enhanced testing capabilities and specialized technical expertise.
Designed to showcase Canadian grains to international markets, the facility will strengthen Canada’s ability to market its grains globally and uphold the quality standards the sector is known for while helping producers expand into new markets and diversify trade relationships.
