Government of Canada invests in improved halal beef processing and packaging in Prince Edward Island

from BC Food News · host Podcraftr

"The BC Food News podcast, hosted by Jennifer English, discusses a recent $2 million investment in Atlantic Beef Products Inc. by the Canadian Government through the Kosher and Halal Investment Program. The funds will be used to enhance the efficiency, profitability, and quality of halal beef processing at the ABPI facility in Albany, Prince Edward Island. This aligns with the recently announced 'Buy Canadian' policy and augments the availability of locally processed halal and kosher products for Canadians. The investment will also support local businesses, promote diversity, and strengthen the domestic economy. The podcast includes statements from the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and the President & CEO of ABPI, emphasizing the growth potential for the halal market, the support for local producers, and the expansion of ABPI's offerings to meet the needs of the growing halal consumer market." https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4592695-1&h=1281736242&u=https%3A%2F%2Fagriculture.canada.ca%2Fen%2Fprograms%2Fkosher-halal-investment&a=Kosher+and+Halal+Investment+ProgramPOST datahttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4592695-1&h=2210024833&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.abpi.ca%2F&a=Atlantic+Beef+Products+Inc.https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4592695-1&h=2475540337&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FAgricultureCanadienne&a=Facebookhttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4592695-1&h=757590351&u=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2FAAC_Canada&a=Xhttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4592695-1&h=1952617040&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fuser%2FAgricultureCanadaFra&a=YouTubehttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4592695-1&h=386148847&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fagriculture_can%2F&a=Instagramhttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4592695-1&h=1105375824&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fcompany%2F1574%2Fadmin%2F&a=LinkedInjennica.klassen@[email protected]://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4592695-1&h=327749075&u=https%3A%2F%2Fagriculture.canada.ca%2Fen&a=Agriculture+and+Agri-Food+Canada
